Bohr went on to make enormous contributions to physics and, like Rutherford, to train a new generation of physicists. But his atomic model remains the best known work of a very long career.

In 1913, Niels Bohr revised Rutherford's model by suggesting that the electrons ... The proton had been proposed as being the nuclear particle responsible for the positive charge of the nucleus ...

This defied the existing atomic model, which assumed atoms were uniformly spread out. From this, Rutherford proposed a revolutionary new model of the atom. He suggested that the atom consists of a ...

Manchester is the birthplace of nuclear physics and this year marks 100 years since Ernest Rutherford ‘split the atom’ at The University of Manchester…or does it? In 1917, the Nobel Prize winner ...
