Was he nervous? On this very spot, over a century ago, Jaroslav Heyrovský, a future Nobel laureate, was born. The Jaroslav Heyrovský Plaque, right before us, marks the house where he took his first breaths. Imagine young Jaroslav, growing up in the house called “Na Kocandě”, surrounded by a loving family steeped in academia. His father, a prominent professor at Charles University, nurtured his curiosity. Jaroslav’s childhood was filled with trips to the countryside, where he collected fossils and dreamed of unraveling nature’s mysteries. Little did he know, a groundbreaking scientific discovery awaited him. In 1922, at the age of 32, he unveiled the magic of polarography. This revolutionary method, using a dropping mercury electrode, unlocked a new way to analyze solutions, earning him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1959. The Jaroslav Heyrovský Plaque stands as a silent testament to a man who dared to explore the unseen world of chemistry, leaving an indelible mark on science.
