  13. I'd add X-rays or Roentgen Rays named after the discover. The modern programmable computer was developed by Konrad Zuse. Early work demonstrating the ability to transmit sound over telegraph wires was carried out by Philip Reis. This was acknowledged by Alexander Bell who is credited with making the telephone a commercial success. Then there is the light bulb. T. A. Edison is generally credited with its invention, but he did not. Agreed he made them a commercial success. The inventor was a German immigrant from Hamburg, whose name just escaped me. I'll look it up if you are interested. He was a watchmaker and used Koelnisch Wasser bottles (eau de cologne) to make his bulbs which he used to illuminate his showroom window in New York City 20 years before Edison's bulbs appeared. This latter info is from a legal battle in New York to prove who invented the light bulb. Both antagonists lost when th watchmaker appeared and demonstrated how he made his bulbs using his original tools. Again. if you are interested I will dig out the relevant information. One more thing. The discoverer of atmospheric air pressure was Otto von Guericke. He demonstrated his findings with the Magdeburg Hemispheres. Fascinating experiments with descriptions easily found on google. Then there is black powder reinvented by the monk Berthold Schwartz. Granted this had been used in China much earlier but, was only used for fireworks there. BTW black = Schwartz in German. Black power does not have the colour black.
