Ages and ages ago I said that I would make top trump cards for all the physicists that i came across but I only made one for Nikola Tesla and forgot about it all. So today I have added cards for:
- Harold Edgerton who developed stroboscopic photography which I have already discussed here.
- Isambard Brunnel who was in my 'reading about science' book as a great engineer who allowed giant steam powered boats to be built. And I mean, just look at that hat!
- Clerk Maxwell developed colour photography and the electromagnetic spectrum, by linking light with other forms of radiation. I found him in a magazine from a Kings university London magazine here.
- Dorothy Hodgkin is one of the scientists that I had never heard of before reading this article in the new scientist. I said that I had a lot to learn and now I have learnt. She did a lot of work using Xrays
- Andrei Sakarov is the other scientist I did not know but now I did. He developed thermonuclear devices and later became a human rights activist
I have added these to my new door!
