Ernest Rutherford, 1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson, OM FRS HonFRSE (30 August 1871 – 19 October 1937) was a New Zealand physicist who was a pioneering researcher in both atomic and nuclear physics. Rutherford has been described as “the father of nuclear physics”, and “the greatest experimentalist since Michael Faraday”. In 1908, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements, and the chemistry of radioactive substances.” He was the first Oceanian Nobel laureate, and the first to perform the awarded work in Canada.
