Robert Boyle [Robert Boyle]
(1627–91) a British scientist whose experiments and the way he wrote about them were ahead of his time. Before chemical elements were discovered, he suggested a theory of atoms, saying that things were made of ‘corpuscles’. He is best remembered for Boyle’s Law, which explains the relationship between the pressure and volume of gases.
