Harvey (1578-1657; England) describes the arterial and venous circulatory systems.
1629
1628
Torricelli (1608-1647; Italy) builds the world’s first barometer for measurement of atmospheric pressure.
1642
1643
Pascal (1623-1662) describes the relationship between altitude and barometric pressure.
1648
1649
Boyle (1627-1691; England) explains the inverse relationship between gas pressure and volume (Boyle’s law: pressure [P] × volume [V] = k or [P1V1] = [P2V2]). Boyle also describes a mysterious substance in air that supports combustion.
1662-1666
1663-1664
van Leewenhoek (1632-1723; Holland) improves the microscope and begins the science of microbiology.
1684
1683
Bernoulli (1700-1782; Switzerland) determines that as the velocity of a liquid or gas increases, the pressure decreases
1739
1738
Fothergill (1712-1780; England) reports successful resuscitation methods.
1745
1744
Black (1728-1799; Scotland) rediscovers carbon dioxide, which he calls “fixed air” (prior work had been done by van Helmot in the 1600s).
1754
1756
Scheele (1742-1786; Sweden) makes “fire air” (oxygen) by heating magnesium oxide; Scheele’s findings are published in June 1774.
1771
1772
Priestley (1733-1804; England), usually credited with the discovery of oxygen, publishes his work on “dephlogisticated air” (oxygen) 3 months after Scheele’s report.
