D.D. Home

D.D. Home was a 19th-century Scottish physician and scientist known for his pioneering work in electromagnetism and the properties of matter. He conducted experiments demonstrating that materials like glass and amber could produce electric charges when rubbed, foundational to understanding static electricity. Home also explored the nature of radiation and magnetism. His work helped lay the groundwork for later developments in physics and electromagnetism, contributing to our understanding of how forces and energy behave at a fundamental level.
