The history of the fax machine begins in 1843 in England with Alexander Bain. He devised an apparatus made up of two pens connected to two pendulums. He joined the two together with a wire, and was able to reproduce writing onto an electrically conductive surface. Some years later, in 18..

Davison and Germer Experiment - The first experimental proof of the wave nature of electron was demonstrated in 1927 by two American physicists C.J Davison and L.H Germer. The basis of their experiment was that since the wavelength of an electron is of the order of spacing of atoms of a c..

Evolution Should not be Equated with Progress - All of the changes, diversifications, and extinctions that happened over the course of life's history are the patterns of overall evolution. Evolution of life has been taking place for about 3.8 billion years of time. When we view macroevolu..

The history of the discovery of cells dates back to the 17 t h century and is closely associated with the history of the invention of microscopes. An Italian microscopist Marcello Malpighi studied the structure of some plants and proposed the idea that plants are composed of tin..

Although Rutherford's model was enormously successful at explaining the scattering of alpha particles, there was a problem when the experimental data were used to calculate the mass of the nucleus. From the results of the scattering experiments, it was possible to calculate the charge on the nucle..
