Biography of Lomonosov Biology

He began to engage in chemical research while still a student at the University of Marburg. For the first time in history, Lomonosov gave a fairly complete and correct definition of chemistry as a science. Vissarion Grigorievich Belinsky wrote that “our literature begins with Lomonosov; He was her father and Pestun; He was her Peter the Great.

" Lomonosov took care of the correctness and purity of the Russian language. Physics of Lomonosov was called "the first and most wonderful Russian physicist." Mikhail Vasilievich made a huge contribution to the development of physical science in Russia. He was the first in our science to recognize the existence in the nature of two different forms of particles of matter: the atom and molecules of the corpuscles, that is, made the discovery in the atomistic theory of the structure of the substance.

Conducting scientific research in the field of physics, chemistry, Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov created devices of experimental equipment. Lomonosov also contributed to the development of domestic historical science. Even during his studies at the Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy, young Lomonosov read the annals, church and secular books in the monastery library.

At the University of Marburg and at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, he continued to study Russian history. Lomonosov became interested in the revival of the forgotten mosaic art - the compilation of paintings and portraits from colored glass alloys of smalt. In the chemical laboratory, the scientist managed to create a recipe for obtaining colored glass and fastening solution.

Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov is one of their founders of modern geological science. He did a lot to organize the study of the natural wealth of Russia and their use. Along with chemistry and physics, the scientist considered mountain science "his main thing." Geography and meteorology almost from the very beginning of activity at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences Lomonosov showed interest in geography.

For many years he was interested in the problem of mastering the Northern Sea Route. In the essay “A brief description of different travels along the northern seas and the indication of the possible passage of the Siberian Ocean to East India” Lomonosov proves the possibility of passing by the Arctic Ocean from Europe to the Pacific Ocean and develops a plan for such an expedition.

Lomonosov went down in the history of science as the first Russian astrophysicist, the organizer of scientific astronomical expeditions.
