    • Robert Boyle

    Anglo-Irish scientist (1627–1691)

    For other people named Robert Boyle, see Robert Boyle (disambiguation).

    Robert BoyleFRS[2] (; 25 January 1627 – 31 December 1691) was an Anglo-Irish[3]natural philosopher, chemist, physicist, alchemist and inventor.

    Boyle is largely regarded today as the first modern chemist, and therefore one of the founders of modern chemistry, and one of the pioneers of modern experimental scientific method. He is best known for Boyle's law,[4] which describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system.[5] Among his works, The Sceptical Chymist is seen as a cornerstone book in the field of chemistry.

    He was a devout and pious Anglican and is noted for his works in theology.[6][7]
