Michael Faraday• British Physicist and Chemist

• The most influential scientist of the 19th Century.

•“Father of the Electronic Age”

• Development of the field theory for electromagnetic interaction in 1753

• Inspired Sir William Crook.

1791-1867

Sir William Crooks

• English Physicist and Chemist

• Was the first to produce and recognize plasma through experimentation in 1839.

• Indentified that there is a forth state of matter.

1832-1919

Irving Languir• American Chemist and Physicist

• Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry in 1932.

• Officially named the forth state of “plasma”.

• Observed the make of this state of matter was similar to blood plasma.

1881-1957
