Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, inventor, and armaments manufacturer. He held over 350 patents and established over 90 factories. He invented dynamite and ballistite, smokeless propellants that found wide usage. In 1888, a French newspaper mistakenly published his obituary, calling him "The Merchant of Death," which may have influenced his creation of the Nobel Prizes. In his will, he established the Nobel Prizes to honor those who confer the greatest benefit to mankind in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901.
The Nobel Prize is an annual international award given in several categories for cultural and scientific achievements and advancements. The prizes were established through the will of Swedish philanthropist Alfred Nobel and were first awarded in 1901. There are prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace, and since 1968 Economics. Over 800 individuals and organizations have received the Nobel Prize or Economics Prize since 1901. The prizes are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden and Oslo, Norway each year and are widely regarded as the most prestigious awards in their fields.
Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist and inventor who invented dynamite and owned several armament manufacturing companies. He established the Nobel Prizes in his will to recognize scientific and cultural advances. A monument in St. Petersburg marks his invention of dynamite and the location where his family once lived. His name is also associated with modern companies like Dynamit Nobel and AkzoNobel due to his significant contributions to chemistry through inventions like dynamite and his establishment of the prestigious Nobel Prizes.

Alfred Benard Noble
Alfred Bernard Noble is a well re-known inventor, engineer, chemist and armaments manufacturer. He was born on the 21st of October 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden. He died on 10th December, 1896 at the age of 63. His family descended from Olof Rudbeck, who were well known technical geniuses in Sweden during the 17th Century. Nobel is famous because he participated in activities that contributed to the development of humanity. Aside from his inventions, Nobel was also a writer, he wrote several literature and poetry works. Most importantly though, he was known for his invention of the dynamite; an invention that reflected the technologies that he inherited from his forefathers. In engineering and chemistry, Nobel has approximately 350 patents, dynamite being the most famous. The synthetic Nobelium was named after him. His name continues to receive accolades in modern day companies such as Dynamite Nobel and AkzoNobel, which are the mergers of the companies that his father owned. The reason I picked this personality is because his lifetime achievements had a great contribution to the development of humanity in both social and scientific fronts.
The first aspect that grabbed my attention to Nobel was that he was a great scientist. He contributed to a lot of work in chemistry, and his innovations were countless. The fact that he discovered the working of the Nobelium element made him have the element named after him. As we also know, he invented the dynamite that saw him become successful in making explosives that were used for war during that time.
Moreover, his personality towards literature occupied a central part of his life, something that is rarely thought of towards scientists. He saw literature as a way to express himself and have his thoughts shared among the people, as well as his relationships and values between people and his environment. During his life, he had an extensive library that included the work of famous European writers. For instance, he was very inspired by Shilley and Byron, which made him write several poems in English when he was still a young man. Towards the end of his life, Nobel wrote a poem titled, Nemesis. The literature addressed the issue of peace among rivalry nations at that time and fostered the urge for people to avoid differences and be one.
Additionally, another great quality he had was that he was a risk taker. That is what made him succeed in his businesses and science. Nobel wasn't always about the sciences. During his lifetime, he owned several companies that made steel alloys and those that manufactured armaments. Towards his death, he acquired the company, “AB Bofors” in ...
The Nobel Prize is awarded annually for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. Some key points about the Nobel Prize:
- It was established in 1895 by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel and first awarded in 1901.
- Notable laureates include Marie Curie (Physics and Chemistry), Linus Pauling (Chemistry and Peace), and Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres, and Yitzhak Rabin (Peace).
- The prizes are awarded in Stockholm, except for the Peace Prize which is awarded in Oslo. Winners receive a gold medal, diploma, and a monetary award.

This document provides a summary of Antoine Lavoisier's contributions to chemistry, including:
1) Lavoisier disproved the theory of phlogiston through experiments showing that combustion reactions involve gases combining with oxygen rather than releasing phlogiston.
2) He established that water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen by collecting and weighing the products of a combustion reaction.
3) Lavoisier is considered the founder of modern chemistry for his establishment of a system of chemical nomenclature and for listing the first table of chemical elements. He emphasized quantitative experiments and conservation of mass.

Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879 and is known for his groundbreaking work in physics. In his "miracle year" of 1905, he produced four papers that changed physics forever, including work on the photoelectric effect and special relativity. Throughout his career, Einstein received numerous honors for his scientific achievements, including the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. He later became a U.S. citizen while retaining his Swiss citizenship and spent his later life lecturing and continuing his scientific research until his death in 1955.
The document discusses the "Dry Way of Antimony" in alchemy. It involves several steps:
1) Preparing stibnite ore through "assation" and "purgation" to produce the "Antimony of the Sages."
2) Purifying the stibnite through "distillation per descensum" in a refractory clay crucible in a furnace.
3) Subjecting the purified stibnite to "separation" using mars, nitre, and salt of tartar in a multi-step chemical process performed in glassware and using the furnace.
The document discusses several topics:
1. It describes early mentions of "tip of the tongue" experiences in literature from 1885 and psychology literature from 1890. Harvard psychologists later conducted the first empirical study of the phenomenon.
2. It discusses Jimmy Wales' motivation for starting Wikipedia after his daughter received an experimental medical treatment that saved her life from a rare lung condition.
3. It identifies Cuba and Fidel Castro as playing a key role in revolutionary successes in Algeria and Angola, and defeating apartheid in South Africa through their support of MPLA and combined forces with Angola defeating the South African army.

The history of photography began in the early 1800s with the first photograph taken in 1826 by Nicéphore Niépce, which took 8 hours to develop. In the 1840s, William Henry Fox Talbot invented the photographic negative and published the first commercially illustrated book using photographs. In the late 1800s, advances like wet collodion and motion pictures helped make photography more accessible. By the early 1900s, 35mm film allowed for smaller and lighter cameras, popularizing photography further. Polaroid and digital cameras in the late 1900s brought photography to the masses through instant and digital images.
1) Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, and inventor who is most famous for inventing dynamite and establishing the Nobel Prizes.
2) As a young chemist in Paris, Nobel became interested in nitroglycerin and experimented with developing safer ways to use and transport the volatile explosive. This was spurred by the accidental death of his youngest brother from a nitroglycerin explosion.
3) In 1867, Nobel invented dynamite by mixing nitroglycerin with an absorbent material like diatomaceous earth, creating a paste that was much safer and easier to handle than liquid nitroglycerin alone. Dynamite found wide applications in mining, construction, and warfare

Book on Einstein's Life is for Sale on The Centennial of his Nobel Prize Lect...associate14
It’s been one hundred years since Albert Einstein gave his Nobel Prize lecture titled Fundamental Ideas and Problems of the Theory of Relativity, on July 11th, 1923. The centennial of this event is a reminder of the remarkable history of Einstein’s Nobel Prize and the address. Now, a book is available chronicling the life of the renowned physicist.
This document contains a lesson plan for a 9th grade English class with the topic of famous inventors and their inventions. The objectives are to improve students' speaking, reading, vocabulary, and grammar skills. The lesson plan includes warm-up questions about inventions, a reading activity matching inventors to their inventions, a quiz, riddles about inventions to solve, a listening activity about Isaac Newton, exercises to practice the passive voice, and a conclusion where students express their opinions on important inventions and are assigned a homework composition.
The document provides an overview of Western science history from the 17th to 20th centuries. It discusses key figures like Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton who developed the scientific revolution and overturned the geocentric model of the universe. It then covers the development of mathematics, chemistry, and physics in the 18th-19th centuries by scientists such as Lavoisier, Faraday, Maxwell, Darwin, Mendel, and others. The document concludes with a discussion of major 20th century developments in fields like relativity, quantum mechanics, and the modern synthesis of biology, chemistry, and physics.
Today marks the death of the Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz in 1903. He was the founder of modern ethnology (the study of animal behaviour by means of comparative zoological methods). He was known affectionately by his pupils as the "father of the grey geese" which he studied. His ideas revealed how behavioural patterns may be traced to an evolutionary past, and he was also known for his work on the roots of aggression. He shared the 1973 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine, for developing a unified, evolutionary theory of animal and human behaviour.
Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879 and became famous for his theory of relativity published in 1915. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. Einstein faced anti-Semitism in Germany in the 1930s and emigrated to the United States to escape the Nazis. He worked at Princeton University and advocated for pacifism and civil rights. Einstein died in 1955 at the age of 76 in Princeton, New Jersey.
Alexander Fleming and Ronald Ross were famous scientists who received Nobel Prizes. Fleming made important contributions to medicine through his discovery of the antibiotic penicillin. Ross discovered that malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes and received a Nobel Prize for determining the life cycle of the malaria parasite. Both scientists significantly advanced medical research through their pioneering discoveries.

3. He was born on 21st October 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden.
He died when he was 63 on 10th December 1896 in Sanremo,
Italy .
His brothers were called Ludvig, Emil Oskar and Robert
Nobel.
His parents were called Caroline Andrietta Ahlsell and

About Alfred Nobel
4.
5. Alfred Bernhard
Nobel
he is a introvert
inventor of dynamite
invented ballistite
he invented Gelignite or blasting gelatin
held 350 patents and established 90 armaments
factories
he wrote a tragic play titled Nemesis
The Monument to Alfred Nobel was created in his
honour in Saint Petersburg.
synthetic element nobelium is named after him
6.
7. The Explosives Was Several
Decades In The Making
Alfred Nobel worked in the private laboratory of Professor T. J. Pelouze,
a famous chemist. There he met the young Italian chemist Ascanio
Sobrero who, three years earlier, had invented nitro-glycerine, a highly
explosive liquid.
It was considered too dangerous although its explosive power greatly
exceeded that of gunpowder, the liquid would explode in a very
unpredictable manner if subjected to heat and pressure. Alfred Nobel
became very interested in nitro-glycerine.
8. Dynamite
Alfred Nobel concentrated on developing nitro-glycerine as an
explosive.
To make the handling of nitro-glycerine safer Alfred Nobel mixed
nitro-glycerine with kieselguhr would turn the liquid into a paste
which could be shaped into rods of different size.
He patented it in 1867
Became "Europe's richest vagabond".
9. Dynamite Construction
A. Diatomaceous earth (or any other type of
absorbent material) soaked in nitro-glycerine.
B. Protective coating surrounding the explosive
material.
C. Blasting cap.
D. Electrical cable (or fuse) connected to the blasting
cap.
10.
11.
12. Ballistite
Smokeless propellant.
Mixture of equal parts of nitrocellulose and nitro-glycerine with 10%
of camphor.
Alfred Nobel patented it in 1887
Soon it replaced the use of black powder.
This invention paved the way for Nobel prize.
13.
14. The incident in 1888 may have triggered the train of reflection that
culminated in his bequest for the Nobel Prizes.
That year Alfred’s brother Ludvig had died while staying
in Cannes, France.
The French newspapers reported Ludvig’s death but confused him with
Alfred, and one paper sported the headline “Le marchand de la mort est
mort” (“The merchant of death is dead.”)
Perhaps Alfred Nobel established the prizes to avoid precisely the sort
of posthumous reputation suggested by this premature obituary.
Nobel Prize
15.
16. In the will he drafted in 1895, Nobel instructed that most of his
