{{Year nav topic5|1925|science}}The year 1925 in science and technology involved some significant events, listed below. Biology- July 21 – Scopes Trial: In Dayton, Tennessee, high school biology teacher John T. Scopes is found guilty of teaching evolution in class and fined $100.
- September – Official opening of Thijsse's Hof (Garden of Thijsse), the first wildlife garden in the Netherlands, in Bloemendaal near Haarlem.
- Approximate date – Extinction of the Bubal hartebeest in North Africa.
Cartography- Adams hemisphere-in-a-square projection published by American cartographer Oscar Sherman Adams.[1]
Chemistry- May – Rhenium is discovered by Walter Noddack and Ida Tacke in Berlin, the last stable, non-radioactive naturally occurring element to be found.[2]
- The Fischer–Tropsch process for production of hydrocarbons is first developed by Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany.
History of science- Museum of the History of Science opens in the Old Ashmolean building in Oxford, set up by Robert Gunther based largely on the collection given by Dr Lewis Evans.[3]
- Pharmazie-Historisches Museum der Universität Basel established by donation of the collection of pharmacist Josef Anton Häfliger.
- Edwin Arthur Burtt's The Metaphysical Foundations of Modern Physical Science is published.
Physics- January – Wolfgang Pauli announces his exclusion rule.[4]
- Werner Heisenberg, Max Born and Pascual Jordan set out the matrix formulation of quantum mechanics.
Technology- June 13 – Charles Francis Jenkins achieves the first synchronized transmission of pictures and sound, using 48 lines, and a mechanical system. A 10-minute film of a miniature windmill in motion is sent across 5 miles from Anacostia to Washington, DC. The images are viewed by representatives of the Bureau of Standards, the U.S. Navy, the Department of Commerce and others. Jenkins calls this "the first public demonstration of radiovision".
- October 2 – John Logie Baird successfully transmits the first television pictures with a greyscale image, in London.[5]
- October 22 – Julius Edgar Lilienfeld files the first patent for a form of field-effect transistor.[6]
- November 4 – Charles F. Brannock files a patent for the Brannock Device for measuring shoe sizes.[7]
- late 1925 or early 1926 – Vladimir K. Zworykin demonstrates a cathode ray tube television system using Braun tubes at the Westinghouse Electric laboratories in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
- Jonas Hesselman introduces the Hesselman engine.
Other events- Sinclair Lewis's novel Arrowsmith is published in the United States, notable in having the culture of medical science as a principal theme.[8]
