Hace 5 días · Sir George Paget Thomson was an English physicist who was the joint recipient, with Clinton J. Davisson of the United States, of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1937 for demonstrating that electrons undergo diffraction, a behaviour peculiar to waves that is widely exploited in determining the atomic.
Hace 3 días · With J. J. Thomson's discovery of the electron in 1897, it became clear that atoms were not the smallest building blocks of nature, but were rather composite particles. The newly discovered structure within atoms tempted many to imagine how the atom's constituent parts might interact with each other.
Hace 1 día · In 1897, J. J. Thomson discovered that cathode rays are not a form of light but made of negatively-charged particles because they can be deflected by electric and magnetic fields. He measured these particles to be at least a thousand times lighter than hydrogen (the lightest atom).

Thomson’s interests in science included not only electricity, magnetism, thermodynamics, and hydrodynamics but also geophysical questions about tides, the shape of the Earth, atmospheric electricity, thermal studies of the ground, the Earth’s rotation, and geomagnetism.
