Famous statements
"The energy produced by the breaking down of the atom is a very poor kind of thing. He was admitted to the Order of Merit in 1925 and raised to the peerage as Baron Rutherford of Nelson in 1931 a title that became extinct upon his unexpected death in 1937.
In early work he discovered the concept of radioactive half-life proved that radioactivity involved the transmutation of one chemical element to another and also differentiated and named alpha and beta radiation. It is the basis for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry he was awarded in 1908 "for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements and the chemistry of radioactive substances". Rutherford moved in 1907 to the Victoria University of Manchester (today University of Manchester) in the UK where he and Thomas Royds proved that alpha radiation was helium ions.
