A. Crum Brown, 1838.
Sir Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford (in German: Reichsgraf von Rumford), FRS (26 March 1753 – 21 August 1814) was an Anglo-American physicist and inventor whose challenges to established physical theory were part of the 19th century revolution in thermodynamics.
Alexander Crum Brown FRS (26 March 1838 - 28 October 1922) was a Scottish organic chemist. He discovered...]]> Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:56:49 GMT http://www.scientistsolutions.com/t4005-birthdays+of+scientists.html Fuglesang had worked at European Research Center on Particle Physics (CERN) in Geneva on the UA5 experiment, which studied proton-antiproton collisions. In 1988 he became a Fellow of CERN, where he worked on the CPLEAR experiment studying the subtle CP-violation of kaon particles.]]> Mon, 30 Jul 2007 03:38:32 GMT http://www.scientistsolutions.com/t4005-birthdays+of+scientists.html [quote]Promethium was first produced and proved to exist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in 1945 by Jacob A.

Nevertheless, he was most distinguished for his work on the kinetics of chemical reactions by ionizing radiation. He is particulalry remembered for his work with Max Boldenstein, in which their work was crucial to the evolution of the understanding of chain reactions. ]]> Fri, 13 Apr 2007 02:57:23 GMT http://www.scientistsolutions.com/t4005-birthdays+of+scientists.html Michael Faraday, 1791
The English chemist and physicist Michael Faraday, 1791, is known for his pioneering experiments in electricity and magnetism. Many consider him the greatest experimentalist who ever lived. Several concepts that he derived directly from experiments, such as lines of magnetic force, have become common ideas in modern physics. ]]> Tue, 27 Mar 2007 22:41:39 GMT http://www.scientistsolutions.com/t4005-birthdays+of+scientists.html According to the aforementioned link, I share the same date of birth with:
Thomas Midgley, Jr. (May 18, 1889 November 2, 1944), was an American mechanical engineer turned chemist. He developed both the tetra-ethyl lead (TEL) additive to gasoline and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and held over a hundred patents. While lauded at the time for his discoveries, today his legacy is seen as far more mixed considering the serious negative environmental impacts of these innovations.
