Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, James Clerk Maxwell, Ernest Rutherford and many other figures of science studied or worked there, and the Cavendish Laboratory, where the electron and the neutron were identified and the structure of DNA was worked out, belongs to the university. The atlas links scientists to it by the institutions where their cited articles say they studied, taught or did research.FactsUniversity of CambridgeConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsFounded YearWell-attested1209 1University of CambridgeFilter Results28 entriesDisciplineAllAnthropology (1)Astronomy (3)Astrophysics (1)Biochemistry (2)Biology (1)Chemistry (1)Earth Science (1)Genetics (1)Geology (2)Linguistics (1)Mathematics (4)Microbiology (1)Paleontology (1)Particle Physics (2)Petrology (1)Physics (7)Statistics (2)Thermodynamics (1)Zoology (1)Field (legacy)AllAsteroseismology, helioseismology (1)Astronomer and mathematician (1)Astronomy and cosmology (1)Biology, physics (1)Geophysics (1)Kinetic Theory and Statistical Mechanics (1)Linguistics (1)Mathematical statistics and biometrics (1)Microbiology (1)Palaeontology (1)Physics (1)Physics, atomic structure and mass spectrometry (1)Physics, cloud chamber and particle detection (1)Plant science and genetics (1)EraAll1793 (1)1819 (1)1831 (1)1856 (1)1857 (1)1858 (1)1869 (1)1878 (1)1893 (1)1894 (1)1902 (2)1903 (1)1906 (1)1907 (1)1916 (1)1918 (1)1919 (1)1925 (1)1933 (1)1934 (1)1939 (1)1941 (1)1950 (1)1952 (1)1954 (2)1963 (1)In GroupAllBiochemistry (1)Classical And Theoretical Physicists Before 1900 (1)Combinatorics (1)Computational Linguistics (1)Condensed Matter Physics (1)Cosmology And Large-Scale Structure (1)Genetics And Molecular Biology (2)Geologists (2)Geophysicists And Seismologists (1)Hydrologists And Glaciologists (1)Nuclear Physics (1)Other Chemists (1)Other Life Scientists (1)Paleontologists (1)Particle And High-Energy Physics (2)Planetary Science And Solar System Astronomy (1)Probability And Statistics (1)Quantum Physics And Quantum Information (1)Stellar Astronomy And Astrophysics (1)Thermodynamics And Statistical Mechanics (1)NationalityAllBelgium (1)Denmark (2)France (1)Germany (1)India (2)Ireland (3)Switzerland (1)United Kingdom (20)United States (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 28Alan CottrellUniversity of CambridgeAndre LwoffUniversity of CambridgeC.
