In 1919 a Russian physicist named Lev Sergeivitch Termen invented a radical instrument that is played without touching it.

This required physicists to invent an entirely new mathematical object - the Grassmann variable - which also allowed changes of variables to be done naturally, as well as allowing constrained quantization.

Irish mathematician and physicist, John Lighton Synge, invented the multi-player, refereed game to emphasize the circular reasoning implicit in the defining process of any standard dictionary.

Since atoms were found to be divisible, physicists later invented the term "elementary particles" to describe the 'indivisible', though not indestructible, parts of an atom.

In essence, Dobson claims that physicists have been inventing new physics to match the Big Bang model, recently with a "mystery" called dark energy.

In the 11th century, the Persian physicist and chemist Ibn Sina (Latinized name: Avicenna) invented the refrigerated coil, which condenses aromatic vapours.

A physicist and a former Federal official have invented a device that uses powerful bursts of microwave energy to disable electronic eavesdropping devices planted in walls, floors or ceilings.

Three physicists at the University of Southern California have invented a microscope that allows a user to single out moving microbes for observation by blanking out all non-moving details in the background scene.

Thus in many of these centers, economists, sociologists, mathematicians, biologists, physicists, operations researchers and others invent and apply methods for forecasting future probabilities.

In 1951, physicist Erwin Wilhelm Müller invents the field ion microscope and is the first to see atoms, e.g. bonded atomic arrangements at the tip of a metal point.
