George Johnstone Stoney is best known for introducing the concept of the "electron" in 1891 while working on the theory of electricity. He proposed that the smallest unit of electricity should be a definite quantity of charge, which he named the electron. This laid the foundation for the development of modern atomic theory and quantum physics.
