Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin, the first true antibiotic, leading to the development of modern medicine and saving millions of lives from bacterial infections.
Chemists refined polymer chemistry, leading to materials like nylon, polyethylene, and Teflon. These revolutionized industries from textiles to medicine and construction.
Priestley isolated and identified oxygen, a crucial component for combustion and respiration. This discovery laid the foundation for modern chemistry and medicine.
Mendeleev arranged the known elements into the Periodic Table, predicting the properties of undiscovered elements, which revolutionized the study of chemistry and material sciences.
Boyle published The Sceptical Chymist, distinguishing chemistry from alchemy and laying the foundation for the scientific method in chemical studies.
