The unexpected results revealed that most of the atom’s mass resides in a dense nucleus ... This 1911 discovery redefined atomic structure and, therefore, atomic physics.

This electronic structure determines many of the defining characteristics of an atom or molecule, including their chemical, optical, and electrical properties. Quantum simulations of chemistry and ...

Ernest Rutherford, a Nobel Prize winner known as the father of nuclear physics, is regarded by many as the first to knowingly split the atom by artificially inducing a nuclear reaction in 1917 while ...

Rutherford was the first to intentionally split the atom through a nuclear reaction. His discoveries not only defined the modern understanding of atomic structure but also paved the way for future ...

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Among other false and misleading claims in U.S. President Donald Trump’s inauguration addresses on Tuesday, his declaration that Americans “split the atom ...

“Rutherford had ‘split the atom,’ the news headlines proclaimed, and the science of nuclear physics — the manipulation of the atomic nucleus — was launched, ” Priestley said. In ...
