Arturo Alcaraz (Philippines) - Instrumental in a team of scientists, who in 1967 were able to harness steam from a volcano resulting in the production of electricity.
Diosdado Banatao (Philippines) - Improved computer performance through the development of accelerator chips, helping to make the Internet a reality.
Marie Curie (Poland) - Winner of two Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Physics for her studies into Radioactivity and her discoveries of Radium and Polonium.
Paul Dirac (England) - An important contributor in the fields of Quantum Mechanics and Electro Dynamics, Dirac was co-winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics (1933).
Albert Einstein (Germany) - Arguably needing no introduction, the most famous scientist that lived and a name that has become synonymous in popular culture with the highest intelligence.
Enrico Fermi (Italy) - Heavily involved in the development of the world's first nuclear reactor and his work in induced radioactivity saw him awarded with the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Vitaly Ginzburg (Russia) - One of three recipients of the 2003 Nobel in Physics for their pioneering work in the theory of superconductors and superfluids.
Christiaan Huygens (Netherlands) - Most well known for his wave theory of light, Huygens is credited with discovering the first of Saturn's moons.
Werner Israel (Canada) - In 1990 Israel co-pioneered a study on black hole interiors.
Ali Javan (Iran) - Born in Tehran, Ali Javan is listed as one of the top 100 living geniuses and co-inventor of the helium-neon laser.
Makoto Kobayashi (Japan) - In 2008 Kobayshi shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contribution in the discovery of the origin of broken symmetry.
Philipp Lenard (Hungary) - 1905 recipient of Nobel Prize in Physics for his work with Cathode Rays.
