Title: Cavendish Laboratory
Caption: Cavendish laboratory at Cambridge University, where the New Zealand born physicist Sir Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) 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.
