The Royal Institution was established over 200 years ago and 14 of it's resident scientists have received Nobel Prizes. Some of the most important scientific discoveries including ten of the chemical elements, the electric generator and the atomic structure of crystals were discovered at the Royal Institution. Famous scientists such as Humphry Davy, Michael Faraday, James Dewar as well as William and Lawrence Bragg all based their work at the Ri.

As they hold copyright on all of their material, the button images have been redrawn, but are in a similar style as the originals.

The graphic buttons above right will lead you to various resources at the Ri, however many are not easily winkled out, I have managed to locate a search facility on their website, but it seems limited in application, there are some useful gems to be found and so it may be considered worth the effort.

When I was a student I used to avail myself of Faraday lectures and although I cannot remember very many specific things from them, I am certain that they contributed to my education. As a result I would recommend that you take any chance that you may get to attend such lectures.
