The Royal Society is celebrating its 350th anniversary by publishing some of its most famous research papers online.
The Society’s Trailblazing website features an interactive timeline which runs from 1665 to the present day, dotted with sixty of these papers.
These include the first blood transfusion from one dog to another in 1666, all the way up to a 2008 paper on geo-engineering (ideas to offset global warming).
Stephen Hawking’s early writing on the subject of black holes is also covered. Strangely, there’s no mention of the invention of Betamax.
Martin Rees, President of the Royal Society, said: “The scientific papers on Trailblazing represent a ceaseless quest by scientists over the centuries, many of them Fellows of the Royal Society, to test and build on our knowledge of humankind and the universe.”
“Individually they represent those thrilling moments when science allows us to understand better and to see further.”
