Henry Cavendish (1731-1810)
Henry Cavendish, the famous English chemist and physicist was born on October 10, 1731. Cavendish was educated in England and spent four years at Cambridge, but he never took his degree.
He spent almost sixty years preoccupied with research, though he never bothered to complete his education at Cambridge. He didn’t care whether his findings were published. As a result, much of what he did remained unknown until years after his death.
In 1766 he communicated some early researches to the Royal Society, describing his work with inflammable gas produced by the action of acids on metals. Some scientists had worked with this gas before, but Cavendish was the first to investigate its properties systematically. Twenty years later the gas was named «hydrogen» by Lavoisier.
His experiments on electricity in the early 1770s anticipated most of what was to be discovered in the next half century but he published virtually none of it. It was only a century afterwards that Maxwell went through Cavendish’s notes and published his work. The Cavendish Physical Laboratory at Cambridge is named in his honour.
