The discovery of electrical waves... has had a profound influence on civilization; it has been instrumental in providing the methods which may bring all inhabitants of the world within hearing distance of each other and has potentialities social, educational and… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share Image
This example illustrates the differences in the effects which may be produced by research in pure or applied science. A research on the lines of applied science would doubtless have led to improvement and development of the older methods-the research… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share Image
If, in the very intense electric field in the neighbourhood of the cathode, the molecules of the gas are dissociated and are split up, not into the ordinary chemical atoms, but into these primordial atoms, which we shall for brevity call corpuscles; and if these corpuscles are charged with electricity and projected from the cathode by the electric field, they… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share

As we conquer peak after peak we see in front of us regions full of interest and beauty, but we do not see our… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share Image
As the cathode rays carry a charge of negative electricity, are deflected by an electrostatic force as if they were negatively electrified, and are… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share Image
I venture to give an alternative method of regarding the processes occurring in the electric field, which I have often found useful and which… — Joseph John Thomson Copy Share Image
