<span class="mw-page-title-main">Frederick Guthrie</span> British physicist and chemist (1833–1886)

Frederick Guthrie FRS FRSE was a British physicist, chemist, and academic author.

Albert Friedrich Emil Niemann was a German chemist. In 1859 - about the same time as Paolo Mantegazza - he isolated cocaine, and he published his finding in 1860.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Robert Bunsen</span> German chemist (1811–1899)

Robert Wilhelm Eberhard Bunsen was a German chemist. He investigated emission spectra of heated elements, and discovered caesium and rubidium with the physicist Gustav Kirchhoff. The Bunsen–Kirchhoff Award for spectroscopy is named after Bunsen and Kirchhoff.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Anastasios Christomanos</span>

Anastasios Christomanos was one of the most important Greek scientists of the later part of the 19th century. His academic collaborators were some of the most important scientists in the world, including Robert Bunsen, Georg Ludwig Carius, Emil Erlenmeyer and Gustav Kirchhoff. He is the father of modern Greek chemical education. He wrote 73 books and dissertations. His fields of study included: Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Analytical Chemistry. He helped restructure Greek education. Greek education was in the grasp of Korydalism for over 300 years. With the onset of the industrial revolution, Christomanos and his contemporaries were pioneers of modern education all over the world.
