electron charge

[pedro_the_swift]

Hi to all the knowledgeable folks here. I had a occasion recently to think about electrons and was wondering if the electron charge value had been measured to any great accuracy lately.<br />I seem to remember Millikan doing his oil drop and microscope trick to measure the value many years ago, but I havent seen any later measurement figures on it.<br />Does anyone here know if there has been any updates on this or have we accepted Millikans figures as final.<br />I guess this is a pretty fundamental number in a lot of fields so it must be important.
