Aided by the rediscovery at the start of the 1900s of Gregor Mendel's earlier work, Boveri was able to point out the connection between the rules of inheritance and the behaviour of the chromosomes.

Edouard van Beneden and Theodor Boveri made the first observation and identification of centrioles in 1883 and 1888 respectively, while the pattern of centriole replication was first worked out independently by Etienne de Harven and Joseph G. Gall circa 1950

In Switzerland, Ebauches Electronic SA presented a prototype eight-digit LCD wristwatch showing time and date at the MUBA Fair, Basle, in March 1973, using a Twisted Nematic LCD manufactured by Brown, Boveri & Cie, Switzerland, which became the supplier of LCDs to Casio for the CASIOTRON watch in 1974.

and was described and named in 1888 by Theodor Boveri.

It was very early identified ( at the end of the 19th century ) that centrosomes are frequently altered in cancer cells, by Theodor Boveri, the scientist who named the centrosome itself.

A modern miniature circuit breaker similar to the ones now in use was patented by Brown, Boveri & Cie in 1924.

The ABB ALP-44 is an electric locomotive built by ASEA Brown Boveri ( Sweden ) between 1990 and 1996.

Eine Autobiographie by journalist Margret Boveri ( 1977, Branchings: an Autobiography )

An electric motor made by Brown, Boveri & Co. from Baden powered the engines in the factory, transmitting the energy via a complicated arrangement of shafts and drive belts in the factory workshops.

In 1989 it was purchased by the Swiss-Swedish conglomerate ABB ( ASEA-Brown Boveri ) ( 40 %), Trafalgar House ( 40 %) and a MEBO ( management-employee buy-out ) ( 20 %).

British Rail 18000 was a prototype mainline gas turbine-electric locomotive built for British Railways in 1949 by Brown, Boveri & Cie.

Equipment was constructed and supplied by ZAMCO, which was a consortium of AEG-Telefunken JV, Brown Boveri Company, and Siemens AG of Germany.

Hoffmann-La Roche then licensed the invention to the Swiss manufacturer Brown, Boveri & Cie who produced displays for wristwatches during the 1970s and also to Japanese electronics industry, which soon produced the first digital quartz wrist watches with TN-LCDs and numerous other products.

The Germany Navy launched the first Köln class frigate in 1961 with 2 Brown, Boveri & Cie gas turbines in the worlds first combined diesel and gas propulsion system.

In 1987 he decided to merge with its Swiss competitor – Brown Boveri Ltd.

Brown Boveri delivered seven 52 kW motorcoaches, with wooden bodies and side doors to each compartment, between 1898 and 1900, numbered 1 to 7.
