Scientists worked with electricity long before they understood that current was made of electrons. The cathode tube was a prime example. By switching on some voltage, scientists could make ...

The volume addresses the “discovery” of the electron, and the microphysical world that it ushered in. It also tackles a host of associated issues, from the technical to the epistemological. To sort it ...

Scientists have made the most precise measurement yet of the electron's atomic mass. "It is a major technical improvement," said Edmund Myers, a physicist at Florida State University, who wrote an ...

The observation of free electron-light interactions was facilitated by the discovery of a technique known as photon-induced near-field electron microscopy (PINEM).

A worldwide team led by UC Santa Barbara scientists at Las Cumbres Observatory has discovered the first convincing evidence for a new type of stellar explosion—an electron-capture supernova.

The electron was hailed by British scientists Thursday as the roundest natural object in the universe. Researchers from Imperial College London conducted a decade-long laser experiment on the ...
