A history of the electron : J.J. and G.P. Thomson /

"Two landmarks in the history of physics are the discovery of the particulate nature of cathode rays (the electron) by J.J. Thomson in 1897 and the experimental demonstration by his son G.P. Thomson in 1927 that the electron exhibits the properties of a wave. Together, the Thomsons are two of t...
