Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) was a New Zealand-born physicist whose scattering experiments led to the nuclear model of the atom. His work established that atoms contain a small, dense, positively charged nucleus.
In the Quantum Collection, Rutherford is linked with atomic structure, the proton, and the transition from classical atomic models to quantum atomic theory.
