  Cavendish
Cavendish's experiments on air, described in 1784-85, led to the discovery that water is not an element but a compound and to the discovery of nitric acid.
Cavendish discovered for himself that the force between a pair of electrical charges is inverse to the square of the distance between them, a basic law of electrostatics subsequently established by a French physicist, C.A. Coulomb, and known by his name.
Cavendish anticipated Michael Faraday in demonstrating that the capacity of a condenser depends on the substance inserted between its plates.

Cavendish's work and reputation have to be considered in two parts: the one relating to his published work, the other to the large amount he did not publish.

Cavendish began to study heat with his father, then returned to the subject in 1773-1776 with a study of the Royal Society's meteorological instruments, in the course of which he worked out the most important corrections to be employed in accurate thermometry.

 THE MICHELL-CAVENDISH EXPERIMENT
However, his experiment is often referred to as having "weighed the earth" because from the knowledge of R, the earth's radius, and the gravitational field strength g at the surface of the earth, it is possible to determine the mass M of the earth.
Cavendish also decided to place the whole apparatus in a room which remained constantly shut, moving the weights from the outside and observing the motion of the arm from the outside using a telescope, and this required some further changes in Michell's apparatus.
Cavendish expresses the opinion that "it seems very unlikely that the density of the earth should differ from 5.48 by so much as 1/14 of the whole." Actually, his (corrected) average of 5.45 is only 1.3 % lower than the currently accepted value of the density of the earth.

 Cavendish Experiment
One dumbbell is suspended from a quartz fiber and is free to rotate by twisting the fiber; the amount of twist measured by the position of a reflected light spot from a mirror attached to the fiber.
The second dumbbell can be swiveled so that each of its spheres is in close proximity to one of the spheres of the other dumbbell; the gravitational attraction between two sets of spheres twists the fiber, and it is the measure of this twist that allows the magnitude of the gravitational force to be calculated.
It was modified by Henry Cavendish in 1798 to measure G and subsequently by Coulomb to measure electrical and magnetic attraction and repulsion.

 "Transgenics will not save the banana"
In the wake of the storm caused by an article in New Scientist magazine, which predicts the disappearance within 10 years of a leading variety of the banana, the international organization tracking this fruit clarifies its stance in an exclusive dialogue with Tierramérica.
In mid-January, Emile Frison, INIBAP director, warned that the Cavendish, the banana variety most widely consumed in the industrialized world, could disappear within the decade due to the onslaught of the fusarium fungus, against which pesticides have proved useless.
It is the fusarium fungus, which causes the so-called "race 4" of Panama disease and attacks the Cavendish variety of banana.
