Henry Cavendish (1731-1810) was a British natural philosopher and experimental scientist. He identified hydrogen as a distinct gas and studied its production and properties.
In the Quantum Collection, Cavendish is linked with the early chemical history of hydrogen, the simplest atom and a central system in atomic quantum theory.
