E. Rutherford in the Cavendish Laboratory
The New Zealand born physicist Sir Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937, right) seen in the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University. Rutherford became director of this laboratory in 1919 and in the same year he announced one of his major discoveries. He showed that the structure of an atom could be changed (nuclear transmutation) by bombarding it with alpha particles. He was also involved (1934) in the first nuclear fusion reaction in which tritium was the end product of deuterium nuclei collisions. He is considered to be the father of nuclear physics and in 1908 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned physicist Sir Ernest Rutherford in his element at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge University. Born in New Zealand and later becoming the director of this prestigious laboratory in 1919, Rutherford's brilliance is evident as he stands confidently on the right side of the frame. In 1919, a year that marked a significant turning point for Rutherford, he made one of his groundbreaking discoveries known to the world. Through his experiments with alpha particles, he demonstrated that it was possible to alter the structure of an atom through nuclear transmutation. This revelation revolutionized our understanding of atomic theory and solidified Rutherford's position as a leading figure in nuclear physics. Rutherford's contributions did not stop there. In 1934, he played a pivotal role in achieving the first-ever nuclear fusion reaction involving deuterium nuclei collisions resulting in tritium production. His relentless pursuit of knowledge and innovation earned him widespread recognition and acclaim throughout his career. In recognition of his exceptional achievements, Sir Ernest Rutherford was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1908. Often referred to as "the father of nuclear physics" his legacy continues to inspire generations of scientists worldwide. This remarkable portrait serves as a testament to Sir Ernest Rutherford's immense intellect and unwavering dedication to unraveling nature's mysteries at their core.
