Pasteur, he was a virologist who not only invented pastuerization but discovered many things about bacteria that are still in use today.  Google him.

Early observations\nIn 1839, Alexandre Edmond Becquerel observed the photoelectric effect via an electrode in a conductive solution exposed to light. In 1873, Willoughby Smith found that selenium is photoconductive.\n\n[edit]\nHertz's spark gaps\nHeinrich Hertz, in 1887, made observations of the photoelectric effect and of the production and reception of electromagnetic (EM) waves, published in the journal Annalen der Physik. His receiver consisted of a coil with a spark gap, whereupon a spark would be seen upon detection of EM waves. He placed the apparatus in a darkened box in order to see the spark better; he observed, however, that the maximum spark length was reduced when in the box. A glass panel placed between the source of EM waves and the receiver absorbed ultraviolet radiation that assisted the electrons in jumping across the gap. When removed, the spark length would increase. He observed no decrease in spark length when he substituted quartz for glass, as quartz does not absorb UV radiation.\n\nHertz concluded his months of investigation and reported the results obtained. He did not further pursue investigation of this effect, nor did he make any attempt at explaining how the observed phenomenon was brought about.

Well there is still a University in London.\n\nGive me some more info and I will try and find out.

Here's at least a partial bibliography!\n\nhttp://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&q=G+Bolodia&btnG=Search\n\nYou'll probably find this one especially interesting:\n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=6754370&dopt=Citation\n\n"A tribute to professor Sir Hans A. Krebs, F.R.S. (1900-1981)."\n\nYou'll probably need to access them from a library or purchase the papers to read them.  Good Luck!

Change is very real in any field of science. New discoveries always overturn old ways of thinking. Hey, Pluto was deemed a planet till very recently! Some things have been fairly constant in EE since the 1800s - Ohms law, laws of electromagnetism, etc. The entire edifice of EE - whether you are talking about communication, VLSI, power, electronics, etc., is built upon these, and a solid foundation of unshakeable mathematics. It will be your job as an EE to further the progress of science and technology by investigating the limits of performance of today's devices, and proposing new theories to supplement existing ones to make better devices. Change? It is a way of life. If you can't deal with it, then theology is probably a good choice for study.

Already been done.\n\nBased on current observable evidence, there is increasing perenctages of certainty regarding the timeline and history of the development of life on our planet.\n\nIt doesn't exclude G-d. It just outlines the observable and measurable properties of the phyiscal evidence.

Johann Wolfgang!\n\nHe discovered furfural, worked on the use of platinum as a catalyst, and invented a lighter, known as Döbereiner's Lamp.\n\n:)

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman who developed many devices which greatly influenced life in the 20th century. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production to the process of invention, and can therefore be credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory. Some of the inventions credited to him were not completely original, but alterations of earlier patents (most famously the light bulb), or were actually the work of his numerous employees. Nevertheless, Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding 1,093 U.S. patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.

This is my opinion, but of the two you put up here I would have to go with Lawrence.  I think their were of equal value, but Chadwick's work was on an idea whose time had come. The proof of this lies in the fact he offered to his Nobel prize with another man in another lab.  Lawrence work, contrary wise was unique and original. Someone later might of come with his idea of the cyclotron, then again maybe not.

Rutherford and Bohr did much of the early theoretical work on the structure of the atom but the real breakthrough was in 1938 when the Austrian physicist Lise Meitner and the German chemist Otto Hahn bombarded uranium with neutrons and caused it to splinter into barium and krypton. \n\nShe coined the term "fission" for this process. borrowing a term from biology. When the Nobel Prize was awarded for this joint work over 30 years, after WW2, he was awarded it and she was omitted. Being female and Jewish had caused her career to be eclipsed by his.
