The Geiger-Marsden Experiments | Nuclear Physics

In 1908-13, nuclear physics was born as Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden embarked on the experiments that would discover the atomic nucleus and revolutionise our understanding of atomic structure. Here we explore why and how they carried out the famous gold-leaf experiment, as well as how Ernest Rutherford arrived at his startling conclusions.
