The year 1956 in science and technology involved some significant events, listed below.
Frederick Reines was an American physicist. He was awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics for his co-detection of the neutrino with Clyde Cowan in the neutrino experiment. He may be the only scientist in history "so intimately associated with the discovery of an elementary particle and the subsequent thorough investigation of its fundamental properties."
The year 1957 in science and technology involved some significant events, listed below.
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is a condition in which severely overweight people fail to breathe rapidly or deeply enough, resulting in low oxygen levels and high blood carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. The syndrome is often associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which causes periods of absent or reduced breathing in sleep, resulting in many partial awakenings during the night and sleepiness during the day. The disease puts strain on the heart, which may lead to heart failure and leg swelling.
Saunders Mac Lane was an American mathematician who co-founded category theory with Samuel Eilenberg.
The year 1940 in science and technology involved some significant events, listed below.
Samuel Eilenberg was a Polish-American mathematician who co-founded category theory and homological algebra.
Henri Paul Cartan was a French mathematician who made substantial contributions to algebraic topology.
Clyde Lorrain Cowan Jr was an American physicist and the co-discoverer of the neutrino along with Frederick Reines. The discovery was made in 1956 in the neutrino experiment. Reines received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1995 in both their names.
The year 1942 in science and technology involved some significant events, listed below.
The year 1927 in science and technology involved some significant events, listed below.
The year 1955 in science and technology included many events, some of which are listed below.
The year 1949 in science and technology involved some significant events, listed below.
The year 1941 in science and technology involved some significant events, listed below.
Joseph Bernard Kruskal, Jr. was an American mathematician, statistician, computer scientist and psychometrician.
The year 1931 in science and technology involved some significant events, listed below.
Tomas Robert Lindahl FRS FMedSci is a Swedish-British scientist specialising in cancer research. In 2015, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry jointly with American chemist Paul L. Modrich and Turkish chemist Aziz Sancar for mechanistic studies of DNA repair.
In mathematics, the standard complex, also called standard resolution, bar resolution, bar complex, bar construction, is a way of constructing resolutions in homological algebra. It was first introduced for the special case of algebras over a commutative ring by Samuel Eilenberg and Saunders Mac Lane (1953) and Henri Cartan and Eilenberg (1956, IX.6) and has since been generalized in many ways.
The article "Sur quelques points d'algèbre homologique" by Alexander Grothendieck, now often referred to as the Tôhoku paper, was published in 1957 in the Tôhoku Mathematical Journal. It revolutionized the subject of homological algebra, a purely algebraic aspect of algebraic topology. It removed the need to distinguish the cases of modules over a ring and sheaves of abelian groups over a topological space.
This is a list of women chemists. It should include those who have been important to the development or practice of chemistry. Their research or application has made significant contributions in the area of basic or applied chemistry.
