	Henry Cavendish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cavendish is also credited with one of the earliest accurate calculations of the mass of the earth.
		Examples of what was included in Cavendish's discoveries or anticipations were Richter's Law of Reciprocal Proportions, Ohm's Law, Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, principles of electrical conductivity and Charles's Law of Gases.
		He left a large estate on his death which was used to endow the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University in 1871.

	Cavendish
		Henry Cavendish was English physicist and chemist who conducted experiments in diverse fields, discovering such phenomena as the composition of air, the nature and properties of hydrogen, the specific heat of certain substances, the composition of water, and various properties of electricity.
		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 biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Henry Cavendish was born on October 10, 1731 in Nice, France, where it seems his mother had gone for her health.
		Cavendish's retiring nature, his reluctance to publish and lack of contact with his scientific contemporaries led to an unfortunate dispute over his investigations of the composition of water.
		It is not clear precisely when Cavendish became interested in the problem of measuring the density of the Earth although in his paper to the Royal Society describing his experiments, which was published in 1798 [4] he does make reference to a brief history of the method and equipment used [5]:

	Science through thes Centuries: The Cavendish Laboratory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Cavendish Laboratory is one of the most famous scientific institutions in the world.
		It was endowed in 1870 by William Cavendish, seventh Duke of Devonshire.
		Under Thomson and Rutherford, the Cavendish was to become the birthplace of nuclear physics.

	The Cavendish Laboratory and structural biology (March 2003) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
		It was a major factor in the enormous revolution in biology that dominated science in the second half of the 20th century, just as the revolution in physics had dominated the first half.
		Under J J Thomson and then Ernest Rutherford, the Cavendish had played a dominant role in the development of atomic and nuclear physics in the years before the Second World War.
		In 1931 he was promoted to assistant director of research in crystallography, which was by then a sub-department of the Cavendish, although his group remained housed in the same old rooms as before.

	The Cavendish Laboratory and structural biology (March 2003) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
		Under his leadership, the Cavendish had become one of the premier laboratories in the world for nuclear physics, where James Chadwick had discovered the neutron and where the first experiments on artificial disintegration using a van der Graaff particle accelerator had been carried out.
		The electors to the Cavendish chair of physics therefore decided, unexpectedly, not to continue in the Rutherford tradition, but instead to appoint Lawrence Bragg.
		Although at first the crystalline proteins haemoglobin and myoglobin were the only objects of study, it was envisaged that the structural approach would later be extended to other interesting and suitable biological materials.

		Ernst elected to work as a research student at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, under Professor J.J. Thomson who was studying the conduction of electricity in rarefied gases, which led to Thompson's 1897 discovery of the electron, the first object discovered that was smaller than an atom.
		Rutherford returned to Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory as Director, in 1919, and became well known for a personality to match his achievements, mentoring and directing others towards great discoveries.
		Rutherford, the Cavendish Professor, was the centre of light and warmth and life.

		Oppenheimer was born in New York and studied at Harvard and at universities, both in England (Cambridge) and on the continent.
		In 1950, Watson joined Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge, England; there to meet and work with such people as Francis Crick, and others, who were trying to determine the makeup of DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid).
		In 1976, Watson was to become the full-time director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (Long Island, New York), which to some, came as a surprize, as he had, by then, established the image of the "Nutty Professor." At the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Watson made important contributions to the understanding of genetic code.
