All round the world: How tiny electrons are almost perfectly spherical NOT egg shaped

The elementary particles of atoms are almost a perfect sphere, a study has found.

Electrons, negatively-charged particles which orbit the nuclei, deviates from absolute roundness by less than less than 0.000000000000000000000000001cm.

This means that if it was magnified to the size of the solar system, it would still appear spherical to within the width of a human hair.
