The tale of splitting the atom isn't just about America—it's a journey from New Zealand to Manchester, led by the brilliant ...

Ernest Rutherford's family emigrated from ... He discovered the atomic nucleus and developed a model of the atom that was similar to the solar system. Like planets, electrons orbited a central ...

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.

Manchester is the birthplace of nuclear physics and this year marks 100 years since Ernest Rutherford ‘split the atom’ at The University ... ‘This discovery, and the earlier work done by Rutherford ...
