The Electron was able to save and load programs onto audio cassette via a supplied converter cable that connected it to any standard tape recorder that had the correct sockets.

At its peak, the Electron was the third best selling micro in the United Kingdom, and total lifetime game sales for the Electron exceeded those of the BBC Micro.

The Plus 3 included an uprated Power-supply unit, that was designed to power the Plus 3, in addition to the Electron and the Plus 1 interface as well.

Of the capabilities present in the BBC Micro but absent from the Electron, the teletext-style mode 7 was particularly conspicuous because of the very low memory usage in that mode ( just less than 1 kB ) and the high number of BBC programs that used it.

An unusual variant of the Electron was sold by British Telecom Business Systems as the BT Merlin M2105 Communications Terminal.

Like the BBC Micro, the Electron was constrained by limited memory resources.

The first detection of tau neutrino interactions was announced in summer of 2000 by the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab, making it the latest particle of the Standard Model to have been directly observed ; its existence had already been inferred by both theoretical consistency and experimental data from the Large Electron – Positron Collider.

The name of the Swedish microsatellite Astrid 1, launched on 24 January 1995, was originally selected only as a common Swedish female name, but within a short time it was decided to name the instruments after characters in Astrid Lindgren's books: PIPPI ( Prelude in Planetary Particle Imaging ), EMIL ( Electron Measurements-In-situ and Lightweight ), and MIO ( Miniature Imaging Optics ).

This was also the start of other " plug-in "- type experimental AMC vehicles developed with Gulton – the Amitron and the Electron.

The Acorn Atom was a home computer made by Acorn Computers Ltd from 1980 to 1982 when it was replaced by the BBC Micro ( originally Proton ) and later the Acorn Electron.

Earlier in the 20th century, the organization was known as JETEC, the Joint Electron Tube Engineering Council, and was responsible for assigning and coordinating RETMA tube designations to electron tubes ( also called valves ).

Electron microscopy and serologic studies were used to confirm that the disease was human monkeypox.

The discovery image ( 256 × 256 pixels ) was collected on a Secondary Electron Conduction ( SEC ) vidicon tube, transferred to the instrument computer after being digitized to 7 bits.

In 1978 he was assigned to become the deputy manager of Shanghai Electronic Elements Company, and between 1979 and 1981 the deputy manager of Shanghai Electron Tube Company.

The term was coined by Robert Hofstadter in a 1956 paper published in the Reviews of Modern Physics journal, " Electron Scattering and Nuclear Structure ".

Denison, independently of Lamont, deduced the danger in the Electron Pump ( although it was Lamont who discovered the final technical facts ), and goes on to find a solution that harms no one and greatly benefits humanity: he taps into yet another parallel universe, that exists in a pre-big bang state ( a cosmic egg or cosmeg ), where physical laws are different and, in fact, opposite to the ones in Dua's universe.

Despite Acorn themselves effectively shelving the Electron in 1985, games continued to be developed and released by professional software houses until 1991.

Electron microscopy has been developed since the 1930s that use electron beams instead of light.

In the early 1940s the JEDEC ( Joint Electron Devices Engineering Council ), an industry committee on standardization, developed a system of designating spectral responses.

Originally developed on the Commodore 64 and published in June 1985 by Melbourne House, ports were made for Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, Acorn Electron and Commodore 16.

Electron Power Systems, Inc. of Acton, Massachusetts, United States, claims to have developed a technology for maintaining small stable plasma toroids called electron spiral toroids ( ESTs ) which remain stable in Earth's atmosphere without the use of any special magnetic fields.

Alternative methods that are non or less physically invasive and less expensive per individual test have been used and are continuing to be developed, such as those using computed tomography ( CT ; led by the Electron Beam Tomography form, given its greater speed ) and magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ).

In 1977, AMC developed a similar electric vehicle called the Electron.

Repton is a computer game originally developed by 15-year-old Briton Tim Tyler for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron and released by Superior Software in 1985.

Sega Master System port of Impossible Mission. Though originally developed for the Commodore 64, Impossible Mission was ported to the Apple II, Atari 7800, ZX Spectrum, Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Amstrad CPC, NES and Sega Master System.

While Non-binary, or M-ary, modulation is common in the telecom industry, the technique was originally developed and patented for optical disc recording at Optex Corporation in the early 1990s ( in conjunction with the University of Rochester ) for use with their Electron Trapping Optical Media ( ETOM ).

Up to 1987, Durell developed 19 games for various 8-bit computers such as Oric-1, ZX Spectrum, C64, BBC Micro, Acorn Electron and Amstrad CPC.

* Prof James Sayers, Professor of Electron Physics from 1946-72 at the University of Birmingham, from 1939-43 developed the cavity magnetron which was essential for centimetric radar, and later worked from 1943-5 on the Manhattan Project

Electron beam lithography was most popular during the 1970s, but was replaced in popularity by X-ray lithography during the 1980s and early 1990s, and then by EUV lithography from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s.

Electron microscopy studies demonstrated that thermal antiphase boundaries ( APBs ) form during cooling through the ordering temperatures, as ordered domains nucleate at different centers within the crystal lattice and are often out of step with each other where they meet.
