JJ Thomson, British physicist, c1922
JJ Thomson, British physicist, c1922. Joseph John Thomson (1856-1940) discovered the electron and was a pioneer of nuclear physics. In 1896 at Cambridge he began experiments on cathode rays, demonstrating that they were in fact particles with a negative charge and were much smaller than an atom. These particles were later renamed electrons. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1906 and was knighted in 1908

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned British physicist, Sir Joseph J Thomson, in 1922. A pioneer of nuclear physics, Thomson's groundbreaking discoveries revolutionized our understanding of the atomic world. Born in 1856, Thomson is best known for his momentous discovery of the electron. In his experiments on cathode rays at Cambridge University in 1896, he demonstrated that these rays were composed of particles with a negative charge and were significantly smaller than an atom. These minute particles were later named electrons. Thomson's remarkable contributions to science earned him numerous accolades throughout his career. In 1906, he was awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize for Physics for his revolutionary work on electrical conductivity in gases. Two years later, he received knighthood as recognition for his outstanding achievements. This monochrome portrait showcases Thomson's intellectual prowess and determination as he gazes intently into the camera lens. His profound impact on scientific knowledge during the early twentieth century cannot be overstated. As we admire this timeless image captured by an unknown creator from Heritage Images, we are reminded of Sir Joseph J Thomson's indelible mark on history and how his pioneering spirit continues to inspire generations of scientists worldwide.
