Box 1: Sir Ernest, Lord Rutherford of Nelson
There has hardly been another scientist this century who has had as much influence on the study of the structure of matter as Lord Ernest Rutherford. As far back as 1908 he received the Nobel Prize for chemistry because he had recognized that radioactive alpha rays were in fact helium particles which were emitted by particular atoms. From this experiment Rutherford deduced that atoms are practically empty, except for a small nucleus in which almost their entire mass is concentrated. This was the discovery of atomic nuclei. The most important aspect of Rutherford's experiments however, was the method. When nuclear particles collide, it becomes possible to investigate their properties. The main interest in those days lay in researching the composition of atomic nuclei by this method. Nowadays we call this `scattering experiments'. The higher the energy employed, the smaller are the details of the structures which can be investigated. Moreover, new particles can be generated in this way. This is the method used today to investigate the smallest constituents of matter. Ernest Rutherford, born 1871 in New Zealand, was made a Peer of the Realm in 1931. He died in 1937.

John Campbell
Born 130 years ago in rural New Zealand, Ernest Rutherford unraveled the mysteries of radioactivity, determined the structure of the atom, split the atom, and led research labs on two continents
"It is given to but few men to achieve immortality, still less to achieve Olympian rank, during their own lifetime. Lord Rutherford achieved both. In a generation that witnessed one of the greatest revolutions in the entire history of science he was universally acknowledged as the leading explorer of the vast, infinitely complex universe within the atom, a universe that he was first to penetrate. " Eulogy in the New York Times, 1937

rnest Rutherford is to the atom what Darwin is to evolution, Newton to mechanics, Faraday to electricity, and Einstein to relativity. Rutherford's fame is based not on one discovery but rather on three separate occasions in which he radically altered our understanding of nature. These were three giant steps toward today's generally accepted understanding of the elemental building blocks of matter, atoms.
Through brilliantly conceived experiments, and with special insight, he explained the perplexing problem of radioactivity as the spontaneous disintegration of atoms. He also determined the nuclear structure of the atom, and, as the world's first successful alchemist, converted nitrogen into oxygen. Or put another way, he was first to split the atom.

    Sir. Ernest Rutherford
    Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Thomson later asked Rutherford to join him in a study of the effects of passing a beam of X-rays through a gas. They discovered that the X-rays produced large quantities of electrically charged particles and these ionized atoms recombined to form neutral molecules. Working on his own, Rutherford then devised a technique for measuring the velocity and rate of recombination of these positive and negative ions. The published papers on this subject remain classics to the present day. In 1900 Ernest married Mary Newton, eventually having one daughter. His chief recreations were golf and motoring. He also violently opposed the rise of the Nazi party in Germany. In the 1930's, the last years of his life he helped Jewish refugees flee from Nazi persecution. He was said to be a very kind and gracious man. He died in Cambridge on October 19, 1937, following a short illness, and his ashes were buried in the nave of Westminister Abbey, just west of Sir Isaac Newton's tomb and by that of Lord Kelvin.

    Ernest Rutherford was born in Nelson, New Zeland in 1871. He began work in J.J. Thompson
    where he became one of the leading figures in the field of radioactivity. From 1907 on he was professor at the University of
    Manchester where he worked with Geiger and Marsden.
    He was awarded the Nobel Prize for
    Chemistry in 1908 for his work on
    radioactivity. In 1910, with co-workers
    Geiger and Marsden he discovered that
    alfa-particles could be deflected by thin metal foil. This work enabled him to propose a structure for the atom. Later on he
    proposed the existence of the proton and predicted the existence of the neutron. He died in 1937 and like J.J. Thompson is
    buried in Wesminster Abbey. He was one of the most distinguished scientists of his
    century. Lord Ernest

    Ernest Rutherford (1871-1933) was born at Brightwater near Nelson, the fourth of twelve children. From an early age he showed an mathematical and scientific ability which was encouraged by his parents and the rural lifestyle, which presented the nascent scientist with the encouragement and opportunity to develop his skills.

    in Cambridge (1895). It was here where the young Ernest moved from a merely outstanding student to being a exceptional researcher. His ability to innovate and design experiments really impressed. From 1897 to 1907 he was a professor at McGill University in Montreal, got married and had a child. His main work here with Frederick Soddy showed that some radioactivity elements do indeed transmutate into other species. This work helped him to win the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1908. After Montreal came Manchester and the nuclear atom. Previously atoms were thought to be fairly homogeneous affairs, with electrons dispersed through a region of positive charge. This is the plum pudding model of the atom. Rutherford suggested to one of his students, one

    Famous Faces
    A number of internationally famous New Zealanders spent their formative years as students at the former Canterbury University college - among them were Nobel prize winning scientist Ernest Lord Rutherford, acclaimed novelist Dame Ngaio Marsh, and New Zealand's first Maori graduate, Sir Apirana Ngata. Commemorative plaques for all three can be viewed in the Arts Centre's historic Great Hall. Ernest Lord Rutherford (1871 - 1937) When Ernest Rutherford, a farmer's son from Nelson, entered Canterbury University College in 1890 as a science student, few would have predicted the astonishing career that was to come. Much of Rutherford's time at Canterbury University was spent in a dark basement laboratory (formerly the University gown room) where he explored the magnetic properties of iron. Rutherford graduated from Canterbury in 1894 with three degrees and a reputation as a highly competent researcher and went on to Study at Cambridge, Manchester and McGill Universities. His ground breaking research into the chemical nature of radioactivity and the nuclear structure of the atom was to earn him the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1908, a knighthood in 1914, the peerage of Baron in 1931 and honorary doctorates from 21 universities. Upon his death in 1937, Rutherford's ashes were interred in Westminster Abbey. A plaque is erected in his memory in the Arts Centre's Great Hall.
