Erwin Schrodinger was born August 12th, 1887 in Vienna, Italy. Early in his life, he highly motivated and influenced by his father who was a gifted individual with a broad backround of education. Dating back to his early days as a school boy, Eriwin had interest in not only scientific but loved the acient grammar and beauty of German Grammar. As a student at the University of Vienna, he met a scientist by the name of Fritz Hasenöhrl, a man who had a strong infuence on Erwin at the time. It is here at Vienna where he and Fritz laid down the future of of their great and fasinating work in Chemistry (work however was put to a hault with the beginning of the first world war). in 1920, Erwin went to the University of Zurich where he became an assitant to Max Wien for six years. Not so much chemical invetions happend during this short period, but a bunch of people influenced Erwin either as a good friend or a mentor. In 1933, Erwin was the co-recipient of the Nobel Prize along with Dirac for their explanation of of his disagreement with Borh's Orbit theory, their belief was that an atomic spectra really should be determined by some form of eigenvalue problem. In 1927, Erwin moved back to Berlin as Plancks successor, however he didn't feel it was safe to stay there because of Hitler's uprising in power. so in 1930, he came back to America and was offered a position as a professor at Princeton University, however he declined the position. It wasn't until 1936 when he was offered a postion at the University of Graz, although the journey wasn't easy for him, Erwin still managed to get to get where he was an wanted to be.

Ernest Rutherford, Born August 30th, 1781 in Nelson, New Zealand. At an early age, Rutherford recieved exceptional eduation and by the age of 16 was enrolled in Nelson Collegiate school. It was here he recieved a scolarship and made his way towards the University of New Zealand. Upon his graduation from UZ, he then recieved another scholarship that enabled him to go to Trinity College (eventually taking the postion of Chair of Physics at Mcgill University, Canada). In 1907, Ruterofrd made his way back to England to become a professor in physics at Manchester University. The first types of researches that Rutherford took part in were in New Zealand when when he explored magnetic properties of iron exposed to high-frequency oscillations, his thesis was entitled "was entitled //Magnetization of Iron by High-Frequency Discharges".// Later down the road as he arrived in Cambridge, he was quickly recognized by one of his many mentors, Professor Thomson. Hand and hand they worked together to discover a detector for electromagnetic waves, an essential feature being an ingenious magnetizing coil containing tiny bundles of magnetized iron wire, alpha and beta rays was what the two named it. Back in Manshester, Ernest created a method of detecting a single alpha particle and counting the number emitted from radium. in 1910, Rutherford found the concept of "Nucleus", according to him practically the whole mass of the atom and at the same time all positive charge of the atom is concentrated in a minute space at the centre. Besides his own accomplishments, he led others to recieve the Nobel Prize such as ; chadwick, Blackett, Cockcroft and Walton. Rutherford died in Cambridge on October 19, 1937, he may be gone but his legacy lives on.

Alfred Carlton Gilbert, also known as A.C., may not have been a breakthrough chemist, but was an inventor that inspired chemistry to this day in age. Born 1884 in Salem, Oregon, he had been highly influenced by magic tricks and unknown wonders. Being the brilliant student that he was, Gilbert enrolled into Yale Medical School, as a way to pay for the high cost at the time, he performed magic tricks. 1909, gilbert finished Medical school, but wanted to follow a different path in life, instead of being the doctor he was supposed to be, he expanded his career in toy making. As he was walking through New York one day a simple construction site inspired him, he would create not only a toy but the whole kit would come with every nut and bolt needed to create the set, this would later be recognized as the erector set series. Not only did he create that, but he also took part in creating various chemistry sets that have been used in labs all across the world today, also "Atomic Energy Lab". It came with real radioactive particles and a working Geiger counter (1950-52).
