Scientists &Inventions Part -1

Thermometer or thermoscope was discovered by famous Italian physicist Galileo in 1609. It was an early device that showed changes in temperature but did not have a standardized scale like modern thermometers.

Telescope was invented by Galileo in 1609.

A microscope is an equipment that helps in watching micro and nearby objects which cannot be seen by naked eyes.

The Ice Cube telescope, which was completed in December, 2010, is the biggest neutrino telescope of the world. It was designed by the University of Wisconsin.

The typewriter was invented by Sholes in 1867, X-ray was invented by Wilhelm Rontgen in 1895, Radio was invented by Guglielmo Marconi in 1901. Safety lamp was invented by Humphry Davy in 1815.

In 1895, while experimenting with cathode rays, he accidentally discovered this new form of electromagnetic radiation. He initially called them "X-rays" because their nature was unknown at the time. This groundbreaking discovery revolutionized the fields of medicine and physics, earning him the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901

British physicist and chemist Sir William Henry Bragg shared Nobel Prize in physics with his son William Lawrence Bragg in 1915. With the help of his son, he developed X-ray spectrometer for the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays.

The creation of steam engine began in late 17th century. In 1698, Thomas Savery, an English inventor, patented a device that allowed the use of steam to pump water. The steam engine that he created was used to remove water from mines. The design was improved upon by English engineer Thomas Newcomen in 1712. Later, further and more significant improvements to the steam engine were made by Scottish engineer and inventor James Watt in 1763. So due to this reason, he is regarded as the inventor of the steam engine.
