what are his other research works?
He made significant contributions to cosmic physics and to the theory of gases and estimated the number of molecules in a cubic millimetre of gas.
George Johnstone Stoney
 He made significant contributions to cosmic physics and to the theory of gases. He estimated the number of molecules in a cubic millimetre of gas, at room temperature and pressure, from data obtained from the kinetic theory of gases. Stoney's most important scientific work was the conception and calculation of the magnitude of the "atom of electricity".
what is an electron? The electron is a subatomic particle. where can they be applied? In electronics, welding, cathode ray tubes, electron microscopes. any scientists who were involved in the research of it? Richard Laming. did he name it? No, but George Johnstone.

George Johnstone Stoney [SEP] Scientific output
Stoney published seventy-five scientific papers in a variety of journals, but chiefly in the journals of the Royal Dublin Society. He made significant contributions to cosmic physics and to the theory of gases. He estimated the number of molecules in a cubic millimetre of gas, at room temperature and pressure, from data obtained from the kinetic theory of gases. Stoney's most important scientific work was the conception and calculation of the magnitude of the "atom of electricity". In 1891, he proposed the term 'electron' to describe the fundamental unit of electrical charge, and his contributions to research in this area laid the foundations for the eventual discovery of the particle by J.
