Among those who have been bombarding atoms with alpha particles are Mme Curie's daughter, Irene Curie-Joliot, her husband F. Joliot, Dr. Chadwick and Professor Walter Bothe of Giessen, Germany. Professor Bothe, bombarding beryllium, decided he was creating an artificial super-gamma ray. Dr. Chadwick decided that a proton and an electron knocked loose by alpha particles might combine, without any electrical charge at all, in one unit to make a neutron. This self-contained unit might be the ultimate unit of magnetism, having within itself opposite poles...
...following the clues of radio-activity that Drs. Pauli and Chadwick separately reached their conclusions. Recently Professor Walther Bothe of Giessen, Germany, bombarded the element beryllium with alpha particles. Something happened to the alpha particles. The particles contained four units of positive electricity (protons) and two of negative electricity (electrons) when they crashed into the beryllium. Two protons of an alpha particle seemed to cling to the nucleus of a beryllium atom (thereby theoretically transmuting that atom of beryllium into an atom of carbon). The particle's other two protons and the two electrons seemed changed into what Professor...
