1914 in science and technology consisted of many events. Some of them are below.
1 Astronomy and space exploration
- Sinope, the outermost known moon of Jupiter was discovered by Seth Barnes Nicholson at Lick Observatory.
- A 76 cm refracting telescope is built at Allegheny Observatory in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. It is the fifth largest refractor in the world.
- Robert Goddard begins building rockets.
- Walter Sydney AdamsWalter Sydney Adams ( December 20 1876 May 11 1956) was an American astronomer. He was born in Syria to missionary parents. Among other things, he worked on solar spectroscopy and co-discovered a relationship between the relative intensities of certain sp determines an incredibly high densityFor other meanings of density, see density (disambiguation Density (symbol: rho Greek: rho) is a measure of mass per unit of volume. The higher an object's density, the higher its mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass div for Sirius B.
2 Physics
- James FranckJames Franck ( August 26, 1882 May 21, 1964) was a German physicist and Nobel laureate. He was born in Hamburg, and did research in the United States regarding quantum physics. For this work, he received the 1925 Nobel Prize in Physics. He was the chairma and Gustav Hertz observe atomic excitation
- Ernest Rutherford suggests that the positively charged atomic nucleus contains protonFor alternative meanings see proton (disambiguation).
