In science fiction we often see immense starships attacking planets, crushing or besieging them, but in our own future we may deploy powerful orbital fortresses to defend our world.

Electrons, those fundamental particles that orbit atomic nuclei, are central to electromagnetism and chemical processes. Ever since their discovery, scientists have pondered over what electrons are made of and their basic structure. While particles such as protons and neutrons have shown internal complexity, electrons appear impenetrable to such analysis. So, what constitutes an electron? Are they truly indivisible, or do they hide smaller components within?

Speaking of the atom, the term “indivisible” now seems outdated, especially with modern scientific understanding. The notion that atoms are the most fundamental units of matter dates back to Democritus over 2,000 years ago. However, as centuries passed and scientific discoveries unfolded, it became clear that atoms were not the ultimate particles of matter. Indeed, advancements in physics have shown that atoms are made up of even smaller particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. While protons and neutrons can be broken down into quarks, the question remains for electrons: are they also made of smaller components, or are they indivisible?

Since their discovery over 125 years ago, electrons have challenged the logic of decomposition. No experiment has yet detected any more complex internal structure, even during high-energy collisions aimed at probing deeper levels of matter. Electrons thus seem to defy the notion of being made up of smaller particles. They are currently regarded as fundamental particles within the standard model of particle physics, meaning they are entities that cannot be divided further.

From a telescope network that spans much of the globe to a psychology study that spans 67 countries, here are the biggest science experiments on the planet.

String theory remains our best candidate for a theory of everything, but where can it be tested? By studying black holes, says Marika Taylor.

A QUT-led research team has developed an ultra-thin, flexible film that could power next-generation wearable devices using body heat, eliminating the need for batteries.

This technology could also be used to cool electronic chips, helping smartphones and computers run more efficiently.

Professor Zhi-Gang Chen, whose team’s new research was published in the prestigious journal Science , said the breakthrough tackled a major challenge in creating flexible thermoelectric devices that converted body heat into power.
