J. J. Thomson: Winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics 1906

Abstract

Positively electrifying: How did it come about that the brilliant mathematician, keen chemical theorist, but maladroit experimentalist, Joseph John Thomson, achieved such a major breakthrough as to discover the electron? This and allied topics are discussed in the Essay commemorating “J. J.”, 100 years after he received the Nobel Prize for Physics.
