How to access a letter within an array element (string) in JavaScript

Question

Given an array:

var top3Scientists = [ "Hawking", "Newton", "Tesla" ];

If I type top3Scientists[1], I get "Newton". How can I access single letters of an array element, i.e., "N"?

top3Sceintists[1] = "Newton"

then top3Sceintists[1][0] or top3Sceintists[1].getCharAt(0) will give you N
