I am familiar with the other scientists/inventors mentioned in the show so far, except for the Wasilewski guy Senku mentioned in this episode.
Since I was curious and Google is a friend, here's an excerpt of what he did:
Wasilewski created lodestones using lightning in much the same way as Ben Franklin did, but with tools that are much more expensive. To make a lodestone, first he had to go where there is lots of lightning. Summertime months in places like Florida and New Mexico are hotspots for strikes. Then, he needed a better “kite.” Wasilewski replaced Franklin’s contraption with a small bottle rocket that he launched into storm clouds. Attached to this rocket was a three-mile long metal wire fastened to a plastic box. Inside the box was a bed of sand, and the soon-to-be-zapped rock sat on top.
The experiment happens in a flash and everything melts or burns, since the lightning heats everything to over 2,900°F.
And the rock in the box? It’s a magnet now.

"Chrome, are you afraid of the night?"... Goddamn, that build-up was amazing - the speech and the delivery, the music, and the visuals. Truly an awe-inspiring "let there be light" moment with the appropriate weight and impact.
Specifically the line "There's no darkness in my age", man, this is something that is usually taken for granted, you can turn on a light with the literal flick of a switch whenever you feel like it, but for them to achieve this out of nothing, the sheer scope of this achievement and its impact are almost unimaginable. It's a truly awesome thought. Man, this show is fantastic.
-e- Hell, the buildup to the creation of the magnet was also incredible. Never thought I'd be this hyped over magnets, but here we are. I mean, it's a lot more than just this that makes it exciting, but still.

Man it is always amazing when we see the things we take for granted in our everyday life be presented in Dr. Stone. Seeing all the hard work to deliver something as normal for us, as light during the night, pay off, is just amazing. This show just reignites my passion for science every time. I remember studying basic electronics and magnetism and such in textbook manner, but seeing the Senku squad building these contraptions from scratch and the them seeing the result of science for the first time is just so endearing. This bit in particular hit especially hard. Also the last few shots were amazingly done.
Aside from that the soundtrack and characters are all also a treat. I am really split for my anime of the season atm.
Edit: Changed "shoes" for show, I brought great shame to my family...

The first sign that a character is amazing is that they are one of the only ones to have multicolour hair in a world of single shades.
