1.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943): Serbian-American inventor and

electrical engineer known for his work on alternating
current (AC) electrical systems, the induction motor, and
numerous other inventions related to electricity and
magnetism.
2. Marie Curie (1867-1934): Polish-French physicist and
chemist who conducted pioneering research on
radioactivity. She discovered the elements polonium and
radium and was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, as
well as the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different
scientific fields (Physics and Chemistry).
3. Alan Turing (1912-1954): British mathematician, logician,
and computer scientist. Turing is considered the father of
modern computer science and artificial intelligence. He
played a crucial role in breaking German Enigma codes
during World War II and developed the concept of the
Turing machine.
4. Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958): British chemist and
crystallographer who made significant contributions to
the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA,
RNA, and viruses. Franklin's work provided critical insights
that helped unravel the structure of DNA, but she passed
away before receiving widespread recognition.
5. Stephen Hawking (1942-2018): British theoretical physicist
known for his groundbreaking work in the fields of
cosmology, general relativity, and black holes. Hawking
made significant contributions to our understanding of the
universe despite battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS), a neurodegenerative disease, for most of his life.
