Ernest Rutherford, otec jadrovej fyziky, bol priekopníkom v chápaní atómu. Jeho experimenty odhalili koncept rádioaktívneho polčasu rozpadu a dokázali transformáciu prvkov, za čo mu bola udelená Nobelova cena. Rutherford ako prvý navrhol atómový model s malým, hustým jadrom a úspešne „štiepil“ atóm, čím objavil protón. Jeho práca položila základy modernej jadrovej fyziky a jeho odkaz žije v pomenovaných vedeckých objavoch a inštitúciách.
