Chemistry

  • Development of the world's first workable plastic magnet at room temperature by organic chemist and polymer scientist Naveed Zaidi.[1][2][3]

Physics

Standard model of Electroweak Interaction.

Nuclear energy

  • Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood a Pakistani nuclear engineer developed a device to detect heavy water leaks in nuclear steam cylinders while working at Knapp nuclear power reactor near Karachi in 1972.[12] The device is patent in his name under his initials SBM probe and is widely used in nuclear power plants to date.[13]
