What did Alfred Nobel and the Nobel Prize family discover?
Alfred Nobel discovered a way to volatile nitroglycerin into a storable marketable form of explosive called DYNAMITE! His family had always been involved with chemistry and in fact his Brother died while experimenting with TNT. Alfred's Contributions: In 1864, Alfred Nobel founded Nitroglycerin AB in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1865, he built the Alfred Nobel & Co. Factory in Krümmel near Hamburg, Germany. In 1866, he established the United States Blasting Oil Company in the U.S. In 1870, he established the Société général pour la fabrication de la dynamite in Paris, France. Although his intentions were good, Dynamite was used for more than building and construction - it was used for destruction and war- causing the death of many people. Alfred felt terrible about this, he wanted a way to right what went wrong- so when he died in 1896, Alfred Nobel left behind a 9 million dollar endowment fund to support his lasting wish for peace and invention. The Nobel prize is awarded yearly to people whose work helps humanity. In total, Alfred Nobel had 355 patents in the fields of electrochemistry, optics, biology, and physiology. GO ALFRED! It wasn't so much in his honor, but he was the one who put up the original prize money. I assume the prize money now comes from some kind of trust he or someone else set up in his name. Phil
Who were the four scientists involved in the discovery of DNA?
DNA was discovered in the 1860's by Johann Friedrich Miescher. Albrecht Kossel was the first to begin to sort out its structure. When we talk about the 'discovery' of DNA we are often really thinking about the work which established its detailed structure, the famous 'double helix'. This was the culmination of the work of many people, but the Nobel prize went to Francis Crick, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins. Many people also point out the contribution of Rosalind Franklin, who died before the Nobel award was made.
What awards do famous scientists get?
This is a hard to answer question, because there are literally thousands of awards given out to scientists for outstanding discoveries and huge breakthroughs in their field. In addition, scientists is a very broad category as there are biologists, chemists, physicists, medical researchers, chemical engineers, geologists, etc. I can answer what the most prestigious award for a scientist to get is, and that would be a Nobel Prize. Winning a Noble Prize often makes a formerally unknown scientist famous, at least within their field of study. A Nobel Prize in science can be awarded for an outstanding discovery or advancement in the field of chemistry, physiology or medicine (same category), and physics. In addition though not typically thought of by many as "true scientists" there is a Nobel Prize for economics¹. Also though rare, a scientist can win a nobel peace prize as well. An example is Linus Pauling, who was incremental in researching the effects of nuclear weapons and the eventual passage of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty between the Soviet Union, The United States of America, and Great Britain. If your interested in learning more about the extensive list of awards a scientist can earn, I would recommend looking at the Wikipedia article titled "List of Prizes, Medals, and Awards" and going to the "Science and Technology" subsection. I have also included the URL below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prizes,_medals,_and_awards#Science_and_technology ¹Economics, like psychology and sociology, is a social science, which due to unpredicatable behavior and forces makes the hypothesis and outcome have a much larger disparity compared to traditional sciences.
