History of atomic theory. The current theoretical model of the atom involves a dense nucleus surrounded by a probabilistic "cloud" of electrons. Atomic theory is the scientific theory that matter is composed of particles called atoms. The definition of the word "atom" has changed over the years in response to scientific discoveries.
1924 Satyendra Bose and Albert Einstein introduce Bose–Einstein statistics. 1925 George Uhlenbeck and Samuel Goudsmit postulate electron spin. 1925 Pierre Auger discovers the Auger process (2 years after Lise Meitner) 1925 Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, and Pascual Jordan formulate quantum matrix mechanics.
1610 – Galileo Galilei: discovered the Galilean moons of Jupiter. 1613 – Galileo Galilei: Inertia. 1621 – Willebrord Snellius: Snell's law. 1632 – Galileo Galilei: The Galilean principle (the laws of motion are the same in all inertial frames) 1660 – Blaise Pascal: Pascal's law. 1660 – Robert Hooke: Hooke's law.
Nagaoka's model was widely discussed by prominent scientists of the day, but a detailed study by George Schott showed the model could not correctly predict atomic spectra. [4]: 38 Nagaoka himself abandoned his proposed model in 1908. Rutherford and Niels Bohr would present the more viable Bohr model in 1913.
1971: Place cells in the brain are discovered by John O'Keefe. 1974: Russell Alan Hulse and Joseph Hooton Taylor, Jr. discover indirect evidence for gravitational wave radiation in the Hulse–Taylor binary. 1977: Frederick Sanger sequences the first DNA genome of an organism using Sanger sequencing.
