In the first paper, he introduced the notion of light quanta (now called photons) and used it to explain the features of photoelectric effect In the second paper, he developed a theory of Brownian motion, confirmed experimentally a few years later and provided a convincing evidence of the atomic picture of matter The third paper gave birth to the special theory of relativity In 1916, he published the general theory of relativity
