Francis William Aston
Francis William Aston, a man who won the Nobel Prize on 1922. He came up with a lot of information regarding isotopes of non-radioactive elements using the famous item so called “The Mass Spectrograph.” A normal human being with lots of potential and intelligence making the impossible possible, he was really unique. He was born on September 1st, 1877 at Harborne, Birmingham, England. He passed away in Cambridge, in November 20th 1945. It was a big family, there were seven children in the family, and he was the third. Francis Williams was British; he was born and raised in England. He basically found out about the mass spectrograph, learned and discovered different types of isotopes. This device separates atoms or molecular fragments of different mass and measures the amount of masses with accuracy. He used this device to discover nuclide, also known as nuclear species that differ mass. Francis attended Harborne Vicarage High School, where he did fairly well, he mainly focused on chemistry, he loved science, and math was his worst subject. After High School, he moved on to Malvern College, and that’s when he really found out about his love to science, and the sun started to shine for him.
All the Nobel Prizes are recognized because of Alfred Bernhard Nobel, a Swedish Chemist and engineer, who died in 1896. In the year 1922, Francis William Aston received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for the discovery of a number of isotopes in non-radio active elements by a mass spectrograph which he invented. In other words, without his invention there would be not a lot of information regarding atoms and the periodic table. An isotope is basically one of two or more atoms having the same atomic number but different atomic weight. He deserved this Nobel Prize, I mean this discovery and invention affected the world before, and now more than ever; now. Science is never going to stop; it keeps going and going, because there are millions of things out there that have not been discovered. It affects us today, because even though we know quite a lot regarding elements, what they do, what they are, how much mass they contain, and even the atomic number of each one of them, without all these information they way we live right now would be totally different. The technology would be so much weaker; scientists wouldn’t have so much knowledge, etc. In 1894, he entered another school called Mason College, in this school he practiced and learned chemistry under Frankland and Tilden (Professors), and Physics under Poynting. He didn’t have enough money for all these Colleges, he received a Forster scholarship in 1898 which then allowed him to go to
