Abstract
This month’s article takes a look at how Robert A. Millikan’s oil-drop experiment led to the measurement of the charge of an electron. A hundred years ago physicist Robert A.

Seven years later, in 1923, Millikan received the Nobel Prize for this work. Perhaps more than any other number, h symbolizes the rise of modern physics.
