Features: One of the important characteristics of contemporary scientific and technological development is both high specialization and high integration. It can be confidently stated that in the new century, science and technology will develop at a rapid pace. The socialization of science and the scientification of society will become even more prominent. The fruits of science and technology will be rapidly transformed into productive forces, while profoundly influencing people's thinking, values, and lifestyles, ultimately changing the spiritual and living of humanity. Televisions, computers, fax machines, laser discs, and other commonly used products that people rely on every day all operate based on the principles of electronics. Electronics are also one of the fundamental components of atoms. The discovery of the electron occurred in 1897. This book tells many vivid and interesting scientific stories that have revolved around the electron since then, nearly 100 years ago. Readers will gain knowledge about the origins of high technologies and also learn about the deeper structural aspects of matter within atoms. The book is rich in content, easy to understand, and highly readable.
