Acceptance of this model grew after it was modified with quantum theory by Niels Bohr. For his work with radiation and the atomic nucleus, Rutherford received the 1908 Nobel Prize in chemistry.

It is a story of how ideas changed about the nature of the atom. These are the notes (and diagrams) I use when I teach the atomic nature of matter to non-science majors. The best thing about this ...

By the time he was done, Rutherford had created the atomic age. He witnessed the prelude to that age as a student at the famous Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England, where he arrived in 1895 ...

These particles should have passed straight through, according to the plum pudding model. However, many of them changed direction. Ernest Rutherford explained these results in his ‘planetary ...

Particle accelerators advanced rapidly in power and design -- like Ernest Lawrence's circular accelerator, or cyclotron. (Earnest researchers, these chaps: Rutherford, Walton, Lawrence.) ...

Niels Bohr adapted Ernest Rutherford's nuclear model. Bohr did calculations that led him to suggest that electrons orbit the nucleus in shells. The shells are at certain distances from the nucleus ...
