UIS5068954 Sir Joseph John Thomson, British physicist, 1900. Sir Joseph J Thomson (1856-1940) studied sciences at Trinity College, Cambridge. After graduating, he continued to work at Cambridge University and in 1896 began experiments on cathode rays, demonstrating that they were in fact particles with a negative charge and were much smaller than an atom. These particles were later renamed electrons. In 1906, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics. ©SSPL/Science Museum

UIS5064518 Sir George Paget Thomson, English physicist, c 1925. Sir George Paget Thomson (1892-1975) discovered the diffraction of electrons by atoms in crystals, and consequently received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1937, sharing the award with Clinton J L Davisson. During WWII Thomson chaired the committee which advised the British Government on the atomic bomb. ©SSPL/Science Museum

UIS5076101 Sir Ernest Rutherford, New Zealand-British physicist, c 1925-1935. Sir Ernest Rutherford, Lord Rutherford of Nelson, (1871-1937) was the founder of nuclear physics. Rutherford won a scholarship to Cambridge, worked at Cavendish Laboratory on X-rays and uranium radiation. He was later appointed a Professor at McGill University in Montreal followed by Director of Manchester Physics Laboratory where experiments into the structure of the atom took place. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1908 and in 1919 he succeeded J J Thomson as Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cambridge. ©SSPL/Science Museum

UIS5080297 George Paget Thomson as a young man, c 1909. One of a set of five family photographs in a frame. Sir George Paget Thomson (1892-1975) was an English physicist who discovered the diffraction of electrons by atoms in crystals and received the Nobel Prize for physics with C J Davisson in 1927. The process of electron diffraction which these experiments established has been widely used in the investigation of the surfaces of solids. In 1930 Thomson was appointed Professor at Imperial College, where he became interested in nuclear physics. In 1940 he was made Chairman of the British Committee set up to investigate the possibilities of atomic bombs. He later became Scientific Adviser to the Air Ministry. Sir George was the son of Joseph John Thomson (1856-1940) who was responsible for the discovery of the electron. He is shown here as a young man. ©SSPL/Science Museum
