Hans Goldschmidt is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Chemist who invented the thermite (aluminothermic) process
Goldschmidt was a German chemist who invented the aluminothermic (thermite) process in the 1890s, using aluminium to reduce metal oxides and generate intense localized heat — the basis of thermite welding for railway rails and of producing carbon-free metals. He came from a German Jewish family.
