About Gizmoids

Who found what, and when: 4,300 inventions and discoveries with their inventor or discoverer, date and type — from algorithms and vaccines to galaxies and asteroids.

Gizmoids lists everything Wikidata records with an “inventor or discoverer” and a date: machines, methods, chemical elements, medicines, algorithms — and a great many astronomical objects, because astronomers credit the discoverer of every galaxy, cluster and asteroid they catalog. Astronomy and other science and technology are kept apart so either can be browsed alone.

Each entry shows the date of the invention or discovery, who is credited with it and what kind of thing it is. Inventor pages give years of life, nationality and occupation. Dates are as precise as the source allows.
