Physics Inventions
Inventions · भौतिकी के आविष्कार
📋Quick Overview
Physics inventions transformed our understanding of nature and led to groundbreaking technologies. Newton's reflecting telescope, Faraday's electric motor, and Einstein's theory of relativity are milestones. X-rays by Röntgen (1895), laser by Theodore Maiman (1960), and the transistor (1947) changed the world forever.
⭐
X-rays discovered by Wilhelm Röntgen (1895) — won first Nobel Prize in Physics (1901)
⭐
Transistor (1947) by Bardeen, Brattain & Shockley at Bell Labs — foundation of modern electronics
