Sir Ernest Rutherford taking a swim in Dorset
The New Zealand born physicist Sir Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) taking a swim off the coast of Dorset (1931). In 1903, together with F. Soddy, he proposed that radioactive decay occurs by successive and spontaneous disintegrations of atoms. In 1911 he elaborated an atomic model in which the positive charge of the atom (protons) was concentrated 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. He is considered to be the father of nuclear physics and in 1908 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliant mind of Sir Ernest Rutherford, one of the most influential physicists in history. Taken in 1931 off the picturesque coast of Dorset, this image showcases a rare moment of leisure for the New Zealand-born scientist. Sir Ernest Rutherford's groundbreaking contributions to science are immeasurable. In 1903, he collaborated with F. Soddy to propose the theory that radioactive decay occurs through successive and spontaneous disintegrations of atoms. This revolutionary idea laid the foundation for our understanding of nuclear physics. In 1911, Rutherford further revolutionized atomic theory by introducing his atomic model, which revealed that an atom's positive charge is concentrated within a tiny region called the nucleus. He also demonstrated that bombarding atoms with alpha particles could alter their structure through nuclear transmutation. Recognized as the father of nuclear physics, Sir Ernest Rutherford was honored with numerous accolades throughout his career. In 1908, he received the prestigious Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his remarkable achievements. This extraordinary print serves as a testament to both Rutherford's brilliance and his ability to find solace amidst scientific exploration. It offers us a glimpse into the life and legacy of this esteemed physicist whose discoveries continue to shape our understanding of matter and energy today.
