Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
E. Rutherford with his wife and daughter in a boat
The New Zealand born physicist Sir Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937), considered to be the father of nuclear physics. He identified three types of radiations produced by radioactive decay which he called alpha, beta and gamma rays. He later proved that alpha rays were helium nuclei. In 1911 he proposed a model in which the positive charge of the atom (protons) was found in a very small region, the nucleus. He also showed that the structure of an atom could be changed (nuclear transmutation) by bombarding it with alpha particles. In 1908 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry. He is seen here with his wife Mary Newton and daughter Eileen in a rowing boat

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliant mind behind nuclear physics, Sir Ernest Rutherford, alongside his beloved wife Mary Newton and their daughter Eileen. Known as the father of nuclear physics, Rutherford made groundbreaking discoveries that revolutionized our understanding of atomic structure. In his illustrious career, Rutherford identified three types of radiations emitted during radioactive decay: alpha, beta, and gamma rays. His most significant contribution came in 1911 when he proposed a revolutionary model suggesting that an atom's positive charge resided within a tiny region called the nucleus. This theory laid the foundation for further advancements in atomic research. Rutherford's experiments also demonstrated that bombarding atoms with alpha particles could alter their structure through a process known as nuclear transmutation. These remarkable achievements earned him the prestigious Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908. In this intimate moment captured on film, we witness not only Rutherford's scientific brilliance but also his personal joy and contentment with his family. The rowing boat serves as a metaphor for his journey through uncharted scientific territory – navigating unknown waters to uncover profound truths about the nature of matter. As we gaze upon this image from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of Sir Ernest Rutherford's enduring legacy as a pioneering physicist and visionary theorist who forever changed our understanding of the atom.
