The scientist devoted a lot of effort to the study of glass and methods of its production, thus he managed to lay the foundation for the science of glass. Of course, such an outstanding researcher as M.V. Lomonosov, could not help but notice the connection between chemical and physical laws. Thus, he created the molecular-kinetic theory of heat and laid the foundations of thermodynamics. M.V. Lomonosov also paid special attention to astronomy.
