Who is LeBron James
This “anti-particle” has the same mass as an electron but a positive charge.
What is the positron?
This physicist explained Brownian motion, giving strong evidence for the existence of atoms.
Who is Albert Einstein?
Your phone’s screen lights up when you tap it because of this property of materials that respond to touch by storing electric charge.
What is capacitance?
The apparent shift in the wavelength of light from distant galaxies, interpreted as evidence for an expanding universe, is called this.
