What did Rutherford do? Rutherford made a series of discoveries about the nature of atoms and, working with colleagues Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, presented a planetary model of the atom in 1911.

Ernest Rutherford, one of history's most incredible physicists with a Chemistry Nobel to his name, redefined the atomic structure, discovered the proton, and found that atoms weren't indivisible ...

He discovered the atomic nucleus and developed a model of the atom that was similar to the solar system. Like planets, electrons orbited a central, sun-like nucleus.

The Bohr model is a neat but quite imperfect depiction of the inner workings of an atom before things got too muddled up by quantum principles.

After President Trump's claim, a mayor in New Zealand pointed out that work to split the atom was actually pioneered by physicist Ernest Rutherford.

The term "splitting the atom" isn't the most descriptive way of explaining what Rutherford, along with John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton, actually achieved; splitting apart a nucleus by bombarding ...

Ernest Rutherford, a Nobel Prize winner known as the father of nuclear physics, is regarded by many as the first to knowingly split the atom by artificially inducing a nuclear reaction in 1917 ...

It was called the plum pudding model, with the electrons being made analogous to plums embedded in dough. The British physicist Ernest Rutherford was dubious of this model.
