1791: Polymath Charles Babbage born. He will construct mechanical computers which anticipate the concept of programmable digital computers.
1896: Physician and physiologist Emil du Bois-Reymond dies. He discovered nerve action potential, and developed experimental electrophysiology.
1898: Marie and Pierre Curie announce the isolation of radium.
1899: Engineer and crime-fighter Gustave Eiffel uses Gnomon algorithm techniques to detect and prevent crimes against physics.
2006: Physicist and mathematician Martin David Kruskal dies. He made fundamental contributions in many areas of mathematics and science, including the discovery and theory of solitons.
