These days you hear a lot about quantum physics – both in science fiction stories and in the latest tech pieces online. However, as is usually the case, the person behind the advancements in this technology – one of the founding fathers – doesn't necessarily get the attention that you might expect. Who was the [...]

It often takes someone who thinks outside of the box to come up with the types of scientific breakthroughs that affect the world for generations to come. And while Samuel Pierpont Langley may not be the type of scientist who has lots of mainstream exposure, like Einstein, his findings and scientific work have caused waves [...]

These days, when someone is very smart, or perhaps unusually inclined toward solving scientific problems, we often playfully call them “Einstein.” It really is something when most of the world equates one man with the entire realm of deep thinking and genius. But that's just what Albert Einstein has become. His name is so intertwined [...]

We all take advanced meteorology for granted these days. Simply click on the local news program or go online to check the weather, and a wealth of information is laid out for you. And even though the weather people on the news often take a beating for getting things wrong, they are using advanced technology [...]

If you ever languished in a chemistry class or course, you can look back in the annals of science and thank Svante Arrhenius. This Swedish born scientist is generally credited with being the founder of modern-day physical chemistry. But like any good scientist Svante Arrhenius certainly didn't make his discoveries overnight. And with a long [...]
