Wikipedia notes that "it was not until the 19th century that the term scientist came into regular use," a term coined long after many of the people the atlas now calls scientists had already done their work. Browsing by era lets a visitor compare scientists active in the same period.20th centuryComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)20th centuryFilter Results110 entriesDisciplineAllChemistry (1)Particle Physics (1)Physics (60)Solid-State Physics (3)Field (legacy)AllAerospace engineering and rocketry (1)applied physics, semiconductor heterostructures (1)Attosecond physics, Laser science (1)Condensed matter theory (1)Electrical engineering (1)Experimental physics, gravitational wave astronomy (1)Experimental physics, particularly semiconductor physics (1)Laser science (1)Mathematical physics (chaos theory) (1)Mesoscopic physics (1)Mesoscopic physics, Electrical engineering (1)Nanotechnology (scanning tunneling microscopy) (1)Nuclear physics (3)Particle physics (1)Particle physics and cosmic ray research (1)Physics (18)Physics, electrical engineering (1)Physics, gravitational wave astronomy (1)Physics, Laser physics, Experimental Gravitation (1)Physics, particle acceleration (1)Physics, particle accelerator design (1)Physics, particle accelerators (1)Physics, particularly solid-state and semiconductor physics (1)Quantum computing and quantum information (1)Quantum mechanics (1)Theoretical Physics (11)Theoretical physics (quantum optics and quantum information) (1)Theoretical Physics / Particle Physics (1)Theoretical physics, Cosmology (1)Theoretical physics, gravitational wave astronomy (1)Theoretical physics, mathematical physics and mathematics (1)Theoretical physics, Physical cosmology (1)InstitutionAllBell Labs (3)Chinese Academy of Sciences (1)In GroupAllAstrophysics And Cosmology (13)Atomic, Molecular And Optical Physics (11)Classical And Theoretical Physicists Since 1950 (12)Classical And Theoretical Physicists, 1900 to 1949 (19)Condensed Matter Physics (18)Nuclear Physics (9)Other Physics (6)Particle And High-Energy Physics (12)Quantum Physics And Quantum Information (10)NationalityAllAustria (2)Canada (1)Denmark (1)France (1)India (2)Israel (3)Russia (2)Spain (2)United Kingdom (1)United States (13)BrowseCompareSelect all 110Aage Bohr20th centuryAbdus Salam20th centuryAlain Aspect20th centuryAlan Guth20th centuryAlbert Libchaber20th centuryAlexei Starobinsky20th centuryAndrea Ghez20th centuryAndrei Linde20th centuryAnne L'Huillier20th centuryAnton Zeilinger20th centuryArthur Ashkin20th centuryArthur B.
