The second fact is that the Laboratory was operational until 1936 (five years after Edison’s death), when the project was transferred to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The layout of the interior contains a chemical processing area, machine shop, grinding room, office and dark room.

What a wonderful question! Well... shannahdesilva https://padlet.com/shannahdesilva/electricity/wish/1784273531 It depends on what you mean by bigger. A proton is about 1835 times more massive than an electron. If you are asking about their physical dimensions - no one knows. 
-Steve Gagnon, Science Specialist

The mass of electrons is known,  but size is not :)]]> 2021-10-01 14:03:15 UTC https://padlet.com/shannahdesilva/electricity/wish/1784273531 Asher was curious about the relationship between magnetism and electricity. We learned that magnetism is the SPINNING of electrons, while electricity is the MOVEMENT of electrons. Awesome question, Asher! shannahdesilva https://padlet.com/shannahdesilva/electricity/wish/1784276421 2021-10-01 14:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/shannahdesilva/electricity/wish/1784276421 Lucas wanted to know what is smaller than a proton, neutron, or electron. Great question! shannahdesilva https://padlet.com/shannahdesilva/electricity/wish/1784297023 It's taken over 35 years for physicists to answer this question. See this excerpt from ScienceDaily.com: "Quarks, the smallest particles in the universe, are far smaller and operate at much higher energy levels than the protons and neutrons in which they are found. In 1983, physicists at CERN, as part of the European Muon Collaboration (EMC), observed for the first time what would become known as "the EMC effect": In the nucleus of an iron atom containing many protons and neutrons, quarks move significantly more slowly than quarks in deuterium, which contains a single proton and neutron.

Now physicists from Tel Aviv University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility know why quarks, the building blocks of the universe, move more slowly inside atomic nuclei."

SCIENCE IS AWESOME!

This was a great addition to our thinking, since now we see the bigger picture: that the way HEAT transfers more rapidly through conductors, electrons move rapidly through conductors to create electricity.
