Scientists

Depression, he died a pennyless, broken man, no one acknowledged his brilliant ideas, and was put down and destroyed by Edison and his greed. Basicly, he died of a broken heart.

No, although Edison was apparently often jealous of Tesla, I don't believe he had anything to do with this. Tesla's first experiment with transmitting electricity through the ground caused a 130 foot lightning bolt, and then set the local generator on fire. His attempt at building a full scale version ran out of funding, and he could not get more because he had lied about its purpose in the first place, claiming it was for communication.

The two main studies of medicine are Eastern and Western.

In Western medicine cadavers were not used until Descartes influenced a major shift in thinking regarding the body, where the church could take responsibility of a person's mind/spirit and that the body was basically separate from the mind/spirit and therefore it was not sacrilegious to cut it open and exam how it works. This lead to the the concept of being capable of describing the body by its physicals properties alone. Western medicine developed most of its treatments based as a result of this thinking that basically separated the body and mind and allowed for dissection to study the internal organs.

In Eastern (or Asian) Medicine like Ayurvedic, Thai Nuad Bo-Rarn, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the concept of the unity of the body and mind/spirit forbade them from doing dissection so they developed their concepts from observing living bodies. However, if they ever came across a dead body, like one that died from natural causes and was available for viewing as it decomposed. that was not against their beliefs. For example if they found a body that drowned, they would observe it as it decayed as nature decomposed the body. They did learn about the internal organs in 'natural' dissection.

So, I would say that seeing the insides of human bodies for the study of medicine is important, but the way that the procedure is undertaken depends on the cultural views of those doing the studies.

Pharmacies often sell pill crushers or grinders, but they often don't create a uniformly fine powder. Some types of tablet coatings will not pulverize.

Fantastically enough, Alessandro Volta, had a little something to do with today's volt battery. From 1745 to 1827, Volta was a man of science, a mind melded by physics and was fascinated with and greatly impacted electricity. In 1800, he created the voltaic pile, an early prototype of the modern-day battery. He arranged several disks of two different metals in a pattern where they would opposite of each other. He then separated each disk with pads moistened by an electrolyte. This opposition of metals (poles) soon created an electric charge. You can see this is still represented on the labels on all batteries with a + or a - at opposite ends. After all, the old adage of "Opposites attract..." had to come from somewhere.

Some famous Filipino physicists include Dr. Roger Posadas, known for his work on theoretical and computational physics; Dr. Elizabeth H. Montano, known for her research on physics education and nanotechnology; and Dr. Caesar Saloma, a National Scientist of the Philippines recognized for his contributions to optics and photonics.

In 1800, Alessandro Volta invented the voltaic pile, which was the first electrochemical battery. This invention was a significant breakthrough in the development of the first electrical cell and laid the foundation for future advancements in the field of electricity.

Louis Pasteur's experiments brought an end to the theory of spontaneous generation, which proposed that living organisms could arise from non-living matter. Pasteur's work demonstrated that microorganisms do not spontaneously generate but instead come from existing cells.

Assuming you are in the USA, some famous scientists from elsewhere are given below.

Sir Ernest Rutherford, from New Zealand, who worked on the structure of the atom.

Pierre and Marie Curie who discovered Radium and worked on radioactivity. He was French, she was born Polish but became French.

Isaac Newton who contributed to many areas including light and gravity was British.

Joseph Lister, father of antiseptic surgery, was Scottish.

The South African surgeon Christian Barnard was the first to perform a heart transplant.

Robert F. Flemming, Jr. was an African-American inventor and Union sailor in the American Civil War. He was born a free black man in Baltimore, Maryland during July of 1839 where he lived with his father, Robert F. Flemming Sr., a baker, and his mother, Mary J. Flemming.

Planck didn't have an element named after him, but he has a fundamental physical constant named after him, the Planck constant. And, because it is a fundamental physical constant, it has "spawned" a "group" of units (called Planck units) that are interrelated because they all contain the Planck constant. The Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology and the Max Planck Institute of Biological Cybernetics on the Max Planck Campus are named after him. The Max Planck Society (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft) operates some 80 research institutes all over Germany, (and a few in other European countries), which usually bear the name "Max Planck Institute (MPI) of ...". The Society does basic research in the natural sciences, but also does work in the social sciences and humanities. Links are provided.

Nikola Tesla is famous for his pioneering work in electrical engineering and his contributions to the development of modern electricity supply systems. He was known for his inventions like the alternating current (AC) system and the Tesla coil, as well as his vision for wireless communication and renewable energy technologies. Tesla's innovative ideas and eccentric personality have contributed to his enduring legacy in the history of science and technology.

Many consider Nikola Tesla's best invention to be his development of the alternating current (AC) electrical system, which revolutionized the way electricity is transmitted and utilized. This system is still widely used today in power grids around the world.

Tesla coils were used comercialy in sparkgap radio transmitters for wireless telegraphy until the 1920s. Today modified Tesla coils are as igniters for high power gas discharge lamps, such as the mercury vapor and sodium types used for street lighting.

Metals in general were not discovered by scientists. No-one knows who discovered the first piece of metal. It may have been part of a meteor which fell to earth, or it may have been found in the remains of a very hot camp fire, or it may have been simply found as a nugget lying on the ground. Either way, it was almost certainly in pre-historic times. On the periodic table of elements, some metals we know today are single elements, such as aluminium, iron, tungsten, or titanium. Other metals are combinations of elements, such as steel (iron + carbon), bronze (copper + tin), etc. More than 2 or 3 scientists have worked on the periodic table of elements over the years. Some of the more exotic metallic elements (such as radium) have been discovered by individual scientists (Madam Curie in that case).

His first transmission was across his family estate in Italy in 1895. He developed the radio in England, demonstrating transmission across the English Channel to France in 1899 and then transmitted from Cornwall across the Atlantic Ocean to Newfoundland in 1902.

The Planck's Distribution of Radiation describes the energy volume density radiated of a black body in terms of frequency or wavelenght. A black body is a material or a physical device that absorbs light and radiates it back not as usual reflected light but as the outcome of electrons reducing their energy levels. The formula is basically an interpolation of Wiens formula and some of plancks considerations on statistical physics. It casually introduces quantization of energy as a mathematical artiluge to fit results, but agrees with the actual understanding of photons as discrete particles. Hope this help you some bit ;-D

Antoine Lavoisier was a French chemist known as the "Father of Modern Chemistry." He is famous for his discovery of the role oxygen plays in combustion, as well as his development of the law of conservation of mass. Lavoisier was executed during the French Revolution in 1794.

Alexander Volta was an Italian physicist who is known for inventing the electric battery, which he called the voltaic pile, in 1800. This invention was a significant advancement in the field of electricity and introduced a reliable way to produce a continuous electric current. Volta's work laid the foundation for the development of modern batteries and had a major impact on the study of electricity.

No, Nikola Tesla did not invent the fishing rod. Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor known for his work in electrical engineering and contributions to the development of alternating current electricity. Fishing rods have been used for centuries and have evolved over time through various cultures around the world.

During the 1930's and into WWII, Einstine wrote affidavits recommending United States visas for a huge number of Jews from Europe trying to flee persecution, raised money for Zionist organizations and was in part responsible for the formation in 1933, of the International Rescue Committee. (Help people fleeing racial, religious and ethnic persecution. As well as those uprooted by war and violence.) Meanwhile in Germany, a campaign to eliminate Einstein's work as unacceptable. They published pamphlets and even textbooks denigrating Einstine and blacklisted (Deny someone work in a certain fiend, deny him privileges, service, or mobility) him.

A Tesla coil is a type of resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891 wich used to produce high voltage, relatively high current, high frequency alternating current electricity. In U.S. Patent 0,454,622, System of Electric Lighting (1891 June 23), Tesla described this early disruptive coil. His coil is the basis of wireless communication.

A geologist or marine geologist would study underwater volcanoes. They would analyze the eruptive history, composition of the lava, and the geological processes involved in the formation of underwater volcanic structures.
