    Einstein was a very smart scholar. When the US found out that the German scientists might win the race to build an atomic bomb, Einstein was asked to write a letter to President Roosevelt recommending that the US pay attention and engage in its own nuclear weapon research. As a result of Einstein's letter and his meetings with Roosevelt, the U.S. entered the "race" to develop the atomic bomb. This was known as the Manhattan project. Soon after

    of William Crookes was one of the main contributors to the new fields of physics and chemistry that emerged in the late 19th century. Crookes’ analysis of the photographic process in the 1850s inspired his work in the science of spectroscopy. Using techniques of spectroscopy Crookes discovered the element thallium. His efforts in discovering the weight of thallium in an evacuated chamber led to his research in vacuum physics. When Crookes was sixteen he entered the Royal College of Chemistry. He studied

    He later died on October 9, 1947 (aged 89). Max was a German theoretical physicist, where his fame lay mainly with the origination and development of the quantum theory, which revolutionised our understanding of atomic and subatomic processes. Fort this he won the Noble Prize in Physics, 1918. Planck was the sixth child in his family and came from a high intellectual family. His great grandfather, and grandfather were both theology professors; his father, Wilhelm Planck, was also a distinguished

    His work led to important advances such as the control of atomic energy, space exploration, and applications of light. As a young boy born to Jewish parents in Germany, his teachers initially called him slow and lazy. However, by the time he left school at the age of 15, one teacher remarked there was nothing left to teach him. Einstein studied at the Institute of Technology in Zurich and received his doctorate in 1905 at the age of 26. That same year, he published five groundbreaking scientific

    John Dalton was an English chemist, meteorologist and physicist. He is known for making and finding work in the development of modern atomic theory. Dalton also made a huge advance in finding color blindness in people. In John's early life he was born into a Quaker family in England. Around 1790 John started to take up law and medicine in school but found his occupation and liking in chemistry.

    understanding and I often find myself turning to chemistry for answers. For example, whilst wondering ‘what is the most expensive material’ I stumbled upon endohedral fullerenes, an organic compound worth $167 million dollars per gram, and is used in atomic clocks. It demonstrates the precise control that chemists have over the synthesis of organic compounds and the vast applications of chemistry on the real world. I am excited to continue my studies further at university and hopefully, one day, change
