A generation of young men is wiped out or traumatized. Perhaps it is the collective dejection and the feeling that there is nothing left to lose that creates a phenomenal mood of upheaval and change. The 1920s are not only synonymous with fast beats and beguiling trumpet sounds, they are also a decade full of remarkable inventions. The following focus themes are considered here:<\/p>\n

Medicine: The discovery of penicillin<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In September 1928, Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming accidentally notices in the laboratory that a mold has a growth-inhibiting effect on his forgotten staphylococcus cultures. Further research later leads to the antibiotic penicillin, which will significantly increase human life expectancy. For his discovery, Fleming is awarded the Nobel Prize in 1945, together with Howard Walter Florey and Ernst Boris Chain, who continue his investigations, \"for the discovery of penicillin and its curative effect in various infectious diseases\".<\/p>\n

Standardization does valuable work for laboratory facilities and equipment, which is what makes it possible for instruments and materials to fit together and thus for an efficient process. For example, the introduction of standardized colors and connections for gases has ensured that the anesthesiologist does not confuse nitrous oxide, oxygen and nitrogen.<\/p>\n

Physics: Albert Einstein receives the Nobel Prize<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Because the young German Albert Einstein wants to study at today's ETH Zurich, he moves to Aarau at the age of 17, where he catches up on his school-leaving exams and then completes his studies with a diploma as a specialist teacher for mathematics and physics. Did he suspect at the time that he would later become the world's best-known scientist of modern times? After various research projects and publications, his path leads him to the patent office in Bern and on to teaching at various universities. In December 1922, Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize \"for his services to theoretical physics, especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.<\/p>\n

What do innovations have to do with standards?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Standards can serve as a catalyst for innovation and help anchor solutions more quickly in the market. Bringing aspects of an innovation into standardization to prepare the market for it can be crucial to market success. In particular, innovations that span industries and value chains are becoming increasingly significant. Standards bring further advantages:<\/p>\n
