Henry Kavendisha's Works have been published only in 1879 of J. K.Maksvellom.

The laboratory Named in its honour is known for the researches all over the world.

Among those who to open true much more advanced the time in noble aspiration, there were many Russian scientists. A huge throw in the future was Michael Vasilevicha Lomonosova's (1711-1765) creativity, the thinker and the scientist who has anticipated many theories and opening of the classical physics in subsequent, the XIX-th century.

Scientific interests of the scientist concerned physicists, chemistry, astronomy, mining and many other things. It has not prevented it to become and the outstanding poet of time.

Lomonosov has experimentally proved the law of preservation of a matter, having done in 1756 the following experience: in the soldered vessel at heating there was an oxidation of lead plates, but thus a vessel lump remained invariable. Similar experiment also has been done in 1770 by Lavoisier, and on its basis the law of preservation of weight of substance has been formulated at chemical reactions.

Lomonosov imagined the nature as a unit where all is interconnected, and changes in one place necessarily involve changes in other; disappears nothing completely and does not arise from anything. It has formulated the law of preservation of movement of a matter. Including experience by the main thing at nature studying, he has invented about hundred different physical, meteorological and other devices, in particular, viskozimetr for definition of viscosity of liquids, the device for definition of hardness of bodies, a pyrometer, anemometr, a gas barometre, a copper for research of substances at low and high pressure, etc.

All bodies, Lomonosov considered, consist from ' korpuskulov ' (the smallest particles), that is, being expressed by the modern language, - molecules which contain some number of elements (atoms). He accurately distinguished these two concepts and has close approached to idea of a molecular structure of chemical compounds. The scientist considered all physical phenomena as result of movement of the big and small weights of a matter and an aether. The kinetic nature of warmth, and heating of bodies did not cause in it it doubts connected with increase forward and a rotary motion, close having approached to definition of concept of absolute zero. Sights of Lomonosov advanced representations of contemporaries for one-two centuries and were not clear for many of its colleagues. He has been convinced that the chemistry should be inseparably linked with physics and mathematics. This conviction has allowed Lomonosov to become the ancestor of physical chemistry in Russia.
