British physicist and chemist. Grandson of the 2nd Duke of Devonshire, he was born in Nice, France. He studied at Cambridge University, but did not like socializing, remaining single all his life and spending most of his time in his laboratory in his private home. Much of his research remained unpublished, and was published by Maxwell after his death. His achievements include research on static electricity, the measurement of the gravitational constant using an intricate torsion balance, research on latent heat and specific heat, the discovery of hydrogen (1766), and the determination of the composition of water. → Cavendish Laboratory → Related topic: WaterCavendishSource : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
