In the 1920s the young English physicist Paul Dirac began trying to understand and describe the space-time evolution of the electron, the first elementary particle… — Antonino Zichichi
We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second and… — Johannes Stark
The electron is a theory we use; it is so useful in understanding the way nature works that we can almost call it real. — Richard P. Feynman
It was not until some weeks later that I realized there is no need to restrict oneself to 2 by 2 matrices. One could go… — Paul Dirac
Reagents are regarded as acting by virtue of a constitutional affinity either for electrons or for nuclei... the terms electrophilic (electron-seeking) and nucleophilic (nucleus-seeking) are… — Christopher Kelk Ingold
There can never be two or more equivalent electrons in an atom, for which in a strong field the values of all the quantum numbers… — Wolfgang Pauli
In 1956 we observed the electron antineutrino. — Frederick Reines
New ways of seeing can disclose new things: the radio telescope revealed quasars and pulsars, and the scanning electron microscope showed the whiskers of the… — William Least Heat-Moon

An electron is no more (and no less) hypothetical than a star. Nowadays we count electrons one by one in a Geiger counter, as we… — Arthur Eddington
According to well-known electrodynamic laws, an electron moving in a magnetic field is acted upon by a force which runs perpendicular to the direction of… — Pieter Zeeman
The magnetic cleavage of the spectral lines is dependent on the size of the charge of the electron, or, more accurately, on the ratio between… — Pieter Zeeman
Supersymmetry is a theory which stipulates that for every known particle there should be a partner particle. For instance, the electron should be paired with… — Brian Greene
When I was 16 years old, I assembled a 2.3 million electron volt beta particle accelerator. I went to Westinghouse, I got 400 pounds of… — Michio Kaku
The removal of an electron from the surface of an atom - that is, the ionization of the atom - means a fundamental structural change… — Johannes Stark
