"The Natural and Artificial Disintegration of the Elements" by Ernest Rutherford is a formal scientific presentation that explains the structure of the nucleus. The address explains natural radioactivity and artificial nuclear transmutations, explaining how radioactivity and changes in the nucleus fit into the bigger picture of how we understand atoms - explaining the importance and concepts, but not going into too many unnecessary elements. It's about understanding the different particles that are ejected during radioactive processes, exploring what these experimental results teach discovering forces, and showing how they affect our knowledge about how elements change.

Summary
About the AuthorErnest Rutherford, 1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson,, was a New Zealand physicist who was a pioneering researcher in both atomic and nuclear physics. He has been described as "the father of nuclear physics", and "the greatest experimentalist since Michael Faraday". In 1908, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements, and the chemistry of radioactive substances." He was the first Oceanian Nobel laureate, and the first to perform the awarded work in Canada.
