Ramsay, William
Scottish chemist who discovered the noble gases and received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1904 "in recognition of his services in the discovery of the inert gaseous elements in air"...
Rogowski, Walter
A German physicist who bridged the gap between theoretical physics and applied technology in numerous areas of electronics.
Ruska, Ernst August Friedrich
Ernst August Friedrich Ruska, the scientist who created the electron microscope, was born on December 25, 1906 in Berlin, Germany...
Schrieffer, John Robert
John Robert Schrieffer was born on May 31, 1931. He was an American physicist who, with John Bardeen and Leon Cooper, was a recipient of the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physics for developing the BCS theory, the first successful quantum theory of superconductivity.
Shockley, William
William Bradford Shockley Jr. was born on February 13, 1910. He was an American inventor, physicist, and eugenicist. He was the manager of a research group at Bell Labs that included John Bardeen and Walter Brattain. The three scientists were jointly awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics for "their researches on semiconductors and their discovery of the transistor effect".
Stibitz, George
American mathematician, creator of one of the first electromechanical computing devices.
Stoletov Alexander
Alexander Stoletov, Russian physicist, founder of electrical engineering, and professor in Moscow University, was born on10 August 1839.
Strutt, John William (Lord Rayleigh)
English mathematician and physicist who made extensive contributions to science.
Sturgeon, William
William Sturgeon was born on May 22, 1783 in Whittington, near Carnforth, Lancashire. He was an English physicist and inventor who made the first electromagnets, and invented the first practical British electric motor.
Teisserenc de Bort, Leon
French meteorologist known for his research in aerology, dynamic meteorology, one of the discoverers of the stratosphere.
Tesla, Nikola
Nikola Tesla (July, 10, 1856 – January 7, 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.
Torricelli, Evangelista
Italian physicist and mathematician and a student of Galileo.
Tyndall, John
19th-century Irish physicist who explained why the sky is blue.
Volta, Alessandro
Count Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta was an Italian physicist known especially for the invention of the battery in 1800. Volta also studied what we now call electrical capacitance, developing separate means to study both electrical potential (V) and charge (Q), and discovering that for a given object they are proportional. This may be called Volta's Law of capacitance, and likely for this work the unit of electrical potential has been named the Volt.
Walton, Ernest
Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton was born on October 6, 1903. He was an Irish physicist and Nobel laureate in Physics who first split the atom.
Watt, James
A Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer whose improvements to the Newcomen steam engine were fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution in both his native Great Britain and the rest of the world.
Weber, Wilhelm Eduard
A German physicist and, together with Carl Friedrich Gauss, inventor of the first electromagnetic telegraph.
Wigner, Eugene
Eugene Wigner was born in November 17 in 1902. He was a Hungarian-American theoretical physicist who also contributed to mathematical physics. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963 "for his contributions to the theory of the atomic nucleus and the elementary particles, particularly through the discovery and application of fundamental symmetry principles".
William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin
A mathematical physicist and engineer. At the University of Glasgow he did important work in the mathematical analysis of electricity and formulation of the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and did much to unify the emerging discipline of physics in its modern form.
Zworykin, Vladimir K.
Russian-American engineer, scientist and inventor in the field of electronics.
