George Johnstone Stoney FRS (15 February 1826 – 5 July 1911) was an Irish physicist. He is most famous for introducing the term electron as the "fundamental unit quantity of electricity".[1]
He initially named it "electrolion" in 1881,[2] and later named it “electron” in 1891.[3][4][5] He published around 75 scientific papers during his lifetime.
