Happy Birthday to James Chadwick, winner of the 1935 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the neutron!
After devising an experiment that bombarded beryllium with alpha radiation from helium nuclei, Chadwick made the fundamental discovery he was looking for: neutrons do exist. As he anticipated, neutrons and other radioactive isotopes now play an important role in medicine and help to fight diseases such as cancer. via @iaea.org
