Given the question: What key details about ernest rutherford can be extracted from the following bio? Bio: '' '' lord rutherford '' redirects here ; not to be confused with lord rutherfurd or with andrew rutherford , 1st earl of teviot . '' ernest rutherford , 1st baron rutherford of nelson , -lrb- 30 august 1871 -- 19 october 1937 -rrb- was a new zealand-born british physicist who became known as the father of nuclear physics . '' encyclopdia britannica '' considers him to be the greatest experimentalist since michael faraday -lrb- 1791 -- 1867 -rrb- . 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 . this work was done at mcgill university in canada . 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 '' , for which he remains the first canadian and oceanian nobel laureate , and the only laureate born in the south island . rutherford moved in 1907 to the victoria university of manchester -lrb- today university of manchester -rrb- in the uk , where he and thomas royds proved that alpha radiation is helium nuclei . rutherford performed his most famous work after he became a nobel laureate . in 1911 , although he could not prove that it was positive or negative , he theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus , and thereby pioneered the rutherford model of the atom , through his discovery and interpretation of rutherford scattering in his gold foil experiment . he is widely credited with first '' splitting the atom '' in 1917 in a nuclear reaction between nitrogen and alpha particles , in which he also discovered -lrb- and named -rrb- the proton . rutherford became director of the cavendish laboratory at the university of cambridge in 1919 . under his leadership the neutron was discovered by james chadwick in 1932 and in the same year the first experiment to split the nucleus in a fully...
