Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch develop the Haber process for making ammonia from its elements, a milestone in industrial chemistry with deep consequences in agriculture.
Albert Einstein (at this time resident in Bern) completes his doctoral thesis, A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions[7] on April 30, submitting it to the University of Zurich on July 30, and publishes his four Annus Mirabilis papers in Annalen der Physik (Leipzig). Because of this, 1905 is said to be the miraculous year for physics, and its 100th anniversary (2005) is declared the World Year of Physics.
"On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies", received June 30 and published September 26, formulates his theory of special relativity.[10]
"Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?", received September 27 and published November 21, deduces the law of mass–energy equivalence, E = mc².[11]
