Description
Ernest Rutherford plaque. Blue heritage plaque commemorating work carried out by New Zealand physicist Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) and colleagues. This plaque is in Bridgeford Street on the Rutherford Building, Manchester University. This site housed the laboratory where the Geiger-Marsden experiment (1909) took place, leading to the Rutherford model of the atom. The 'atom splitting' experiment took place in 1917. Rutherford's 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was for his earlier work on radioactivity at McGill University in Canada. From 1919, he directed the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge.
