Electron

The tiny particle that powers civilization/Scientific Objects

The electron is a fundamental particle with a negative charge and a mass about 1/1836th that of a proton. Every electric current is a river of electrons, every chemical bond involves them, and every screen you read glows because of them. It has no known internal structure, making it truly elementary.
