On February 18, 1745, Alessandro Volta was born in Como, Lombardy, Italy.
Despite being a nobility, his family wasn’t particularly affluent.
He didn’t begin to talk until he was four years old, which caused his family to worry that he might not be particularly intellectual or even dumb.
Alessandro Volta was an electrical science pioneer as well as a physicist and chemist.
He is most well-known for developing the electric battery.
He invented the first electric battery in 1800, known at the time as the “voltaic pile.”
His creation enabled researchers to create constant electric current flows for the first time, sparking a flurry of fresh discoveries and innovations.
Methane was initially isolated by Alessandro Volta.
The internal combustion engine’s fundamental discovery—that methane and air might be ignited by an electric spark—was made by Alessandro Volta.
He discovered “contact electricity,” which is produced when certain metals come in touch.
