 The Scientific Article: From Galileo's New Science to the Human Genome
In the later decades of the eighteenth century, scientists along with their societies and publications became more specialized as a means of coping with the flood of technical knowledge, particularly in the fields of physics and chemistry.
The age of the generalist and inspired amateur of science was in decline.
While their purpose is to interpret past science, not invent new science, they serve an indispensable function--winnowing the fit from the unfit among the other four types.

 Wesleyan Science 1831-1942
This is a brief history of science at Wesleyan from its beginning in 1831 until about 1942, when we became involved in the second World War.
When this author first joined the Faculty (1904), it was taken for granted that both the arts and the sciences were liberal learning, and many who were scientists excelled in the arts.
It compelled integrity, for science sought not what one wished to find but what was.

 ESA - Space Science - Mars Express overview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Beagle 2 lander, named after the ship in which Charles Darwin set sail to explore uncharted areas of the Earth in 1831, provided an exciting opportunity for Europe to contribute to the search for life on Mars.
After coming to rest on the surface, Beagle 2 was expected to perform environmental, exobiological, and geochemical research.
As well as its science objectives, Mars Express will also provide relay communication services between the Earth and the NASA rovers on the surface, so forming a centrepiece of the international effort in Mars exploration.

 TIME.com: England's Intelligentsia -- Sep. 24, 1923 -- Page 1
The British Association for the Advancement of Science, founded 1831, the most important of English scientific congresses, held its annual meeting in Liverpool under the presidency of Sir Ernest Rutherford, Cavendish Professor of Physics at the University of Cambridge, where he succeeded Sir Joseph Thomson, famed editor of The Outline of Science (TIME, April 7).
Sir Ernest's presidential address was a graphic summary of present knowledge of atomic and electronic theory, so much of which is his own contribution.
The years since 1918 he called "the heroic age of physical science," for never before have discoveries of fundamental importance followed each other with such bewildering activity.

 Propellant-free space propulsion using tethers
It's not exactly something for nothing - we'll explain that shortly - but it's reasonably close.
The story starts in 1831, when Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry demonstrated that moving a wire through a magnetic field produced an electrical current, and then running a current through a wire produced a magnetic field.
Before the flight, the models predicted that the tether would produce 0.5 amp (0.5 A) under ideal conditions.
