Additional Information


Nomenclature

Robert Andrews Millikan (March 22, 1868 – December 19, 1953) was an American experimental physicist who won the 1923 Nobel Prize for his measurement of the charge on the electron and for his work on the photoelectric effect. Millikan received his doctorate in physics from Columbia University in 1895 – he was the first to earn a Ph.D. from that department. At Caltech most of his scientific research focused on the study of "cosmic rays" (a term which he coined).
