  J.J. Thomson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomson was born in 1856 near Manchester in England, of Scottish parentage.
In one of the greatest ironies of modern physics his son George Paget Thomson later received the prize for proving that the electron was in fact a wave.
Thomson was an esperantist and was the Vice-President of the International Esperanto Science Association.

 Joseph John Thomson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
In 1897 the physicist Joseph John (J.J.) Thomson (1856—1940) discovered the electron in a series of experiments designed to study the nature of electric discharge in a high-vacuum cathode-ray tube—an area being investigated by numerous scientists at the time.
Thomson interpreted the deflection of the rays by electrically charged plates and magnets as evidence of "bodies much smaller than atoms" that he calculated as having a very large value for the charge to mass ratio.
Of all the physicists associated with determining the structure of the atom, Thomson remained most closely aligned to the chemical community because his non-mathematical atomic theory—unlike early quantum theory—could also be used to account for chemical bonding and molecular structure (see G. N. Lewis and Irving Langmuir).

Sir Joseph John Thomson was born near Manchester, England, and educated at Owens College (now part of Victoria University of Manchester) and Trinity College, University of Cambridge.
Thomson was awarded the 1906 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the conduction of electricity through gases.
A theorist as well as an experimenter, Thomson advanced in 1898 the “plum-pudding” theory of atomic structure, holding that negative electrons were like plums embedded in a pudding of positive matter.

 Joseph John Thomson Birthday
Joseph John Thomson was born in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, England on 18 December 1856.
Thomson's achievements were recognized by his peers early on, an in 1884 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of London and appointed to the chair of physics at the Cavendish Laboratory.
Thomson observed that cathode rays, a strange stream of particles that appeared to fly across a vacuum tube when an electric current was introduced across it, would bend in the presence of a magnetic field.

Thomson demonstrated (1897) that cathode rays were actually units of electrical current made up of negatively charged particles of subatomic size.
He believed them to be an integral part of all matter and theorized a model of atomic structure in which a quantity of negatively charged electrons was embedded in a sphere of positive electricity, the two charges neutralizing each other.
Thomson was a highly gifted teacher--seven of his research assistants as well as his son, George, won Nobel Prizes for physics--and he led Great Britain to dominance in the field of subatomic particles in the early decades of the 20th century.

 Joseph John Thomson - Wikipedia
Sir Joseph John Thomson, fisico inglese, è noto per aver scoperto la particella di carica negativa: l'elettrone.
Nato a Cheetham, nei pressi di Manchester, il 18 dicembre del 1856, da genitori scozzesi, John studiò ingegneria all'università di Owen, per poi andare al Trinity College di Cambridge.
In precedenza George Johnstone Stoney presuppose l'elettrone come l'unità di carica in elettrochimica, ma Thomson comprese subito che in realtà esso era una particella subatomica, la prima ad essere scoperta.

Thomson was a highly gifted teacher, seven of his research assistants as well as his son, George, won Nobel Prizes for physics, and he led Great Britain to dominance in the field of subatomic particles in the early decades of the 20th century.
On April 30, 1897, Joseph John (J.J.) Thomson announced that cathode rays were negatively charged particles which he called 'corpuscles.' He also announced that they had a mass about 1000 times smaller than a hydrogen atom, and he claimed that these corpuscles were the things from which atoms were built up.
By this time, George Francis FitzGerald (1851-1901), an Irish physicist, had suggested that Thomson's 'corpuscles' making up the cathode ray were actually free electrons.
