There most probably is a neutron, smallest bit, last resolvable particle of Matter. Last Summer when Dr. W. Pauli of Zurich propounded the idea at Pasadena, the fact was less certain (TIME, June 29). Last week there was almost no doubt. Dr. James Chadwick of Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory, brightest spot of British science, declared for the existence of neutrons. Ernest Baron Rutherford, director of the Cavendish Laboratory, confirmed the investigation. And no brash statements ever come from Professor Rutherford, 1908 Nobel Laureate, the man who established the existence and nature of radioactive transformations, the electrical structure...
...Chadwick repeated the Bothe experiment at his Cavendish Laboratories last week. Protons and electrons were on the loose. What might happen to them...
...Cavendish laboratories are among the finest in the world," Otto Oldenberg, professor of Physics, said yesterday, in connection with the recent announcement of the discovery of the neutron at Cambridge, England, "and the reputation of the men working in them is well established, but until scientific proof substantiating such an important theory has reached America, little can be said in way of comment...
...discovery of the neutron particle in the Cavendish Laboratory by James Chadwick is the result of a long search into the field of radio-activity, under the direction of Lord Rutherford. Chadwick and Rutherford have collaborated for many years, and the wealth of scientific material which they have produced...
...Speaker, if the noble Marquess thinks he is going to bully us with his high and mighty Cavendish ways, all I can tell him is he will find himself knocked into a cocked hat in a jiffy, and we will have to put him to the necessity of wiping the blood of all the Cavendishes from his noble nose a good many times before he disposes...
