In the 17th century, Johannes Kepler and Isaac Newton discovered the basic physical laws governing orbits; in the 20th century, Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity supplied a more exact description.
An emeritus professor of physics and a senior research scientist at the University of Maryland, Dr. Weber discovered the basic principle of what would come to be called masers and lasers and gave the first public talk ever on the subject in 1952.
I can't say what the discovery of dark matter or the final hunting down of the Higgs boson would do for the average person, except to paraphrase Michael Faraday, the 19th-century English chemist who discovered the basic laws of electromagnetism.
Faraday Cage Using an antique birdcage, a Tesla coil and other found objects, this assemblage pays homage to three of Mr. Sugimoto's mentors from history: Marcel Duchamp, who invented the mechanical readymade; William Henry Fox Talbot, who invented negative-positive photography; and Michael Faraday, the 19th-century English physicist and chemist who discovered the basic laws of electromagnetism.
BP discovered the basic catalysts, but Johnson Matthey made them capable of being manufactured.
Stanislav Grof reports: "Albert Einstein discovered the basic principles of relativity in an unusual state of consciousness; according to his description, most of the insights came to him in the form of kinesthetic sensations in his muscles".
In the 1960s and 1970s, John Vane and others discovered the basic mechanism of aspirin's effects, while clinical trials and other studies from the 1960s to the 1980s established aspirin's efficacy as an anticlotting agent that reduces the risk of clotting diseases.

The biotechnology revolution discussed herein began in 1973, 20 years after Watson & Crick's sentinel paper describing the structure of DNA, when Stanley Cohen of Stanford University and Herbert Boyer of the University of California-San Francisco discovered the basic technique for recombinant DNA [ 3, 4].
A lot of work was, and is, necessary just to discover the basics.But the list of needed experiments was also long because of incompetence and secrecy, particularly in Britain's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF).
