How Large is an Atom?
ATOMS are so,inhnitesimal that to be seen under\
4 A._ the most powerful microscope one hundred
mili must be grouped. The atom used to be the -
mallest indivisible niit- of matter. When the X-Rays
and radium were discovered physicists found that they
were dealing with smaller things than atoms-with par
1ticles they call "electrons." -
Atoms are built up of electrons, just as the solar
system is built up of sun and planets. Magnify the
hydrogen atom, says Sir Oliver Lodge, to the size of a
, cathedral, and an electron, in comparison, will be no
bigger than a bird-shot.
Not much substantial progresa can be made in chemical and
electrical industries unlessn the action of electrons is studied. For
,that reason the chemists and physicists in the Research L abora
tories of the General Electric Company are as much concerned
with the~ very constitution of matter as they are with the develop
ment of nlEw inventions. They use the X-R ay tube as if it were
a machine-gun; for by its means electrons are shot at targets in
new ways so as to reveal more about the structure of matter.
As the result of such experiments, the X-Ray tube has been
greatly improved, and ths vacuum tube, now so indispensable Ina
radio communication, has a>een developed into a kind of trigger
device for guiding electrons by radio waves.
Yasm thus be spent in what seems to be merely a purely
'.theoretica * investigation. Yet nothing Is so practical as a 1
good theory. The whole structure of modern'mechanical eng.
- neerimg is reared on Newton's laws of gravitation and motion
- theories stated in the fosm of Immutable propositions. -
In the past the theories that resulted from purely scaentific re- - -'
search usually came from the university laboratories, wherepo
the industries applied them. The Research Laboratories of the
General Electric Company conceive it as part of their task to ex
plore the unknown In the same spirit, even titough there ma~y be
no Immediate commercIal goal in view. Sooner or 1ate the
world profits by such researchs in pure scIence. Wireless comn
snunication, for example, was accom plisne. argely as the result'
of Hera's brillant series of purely pcientific ex periments derpon.
