The first announcement of the artificial transmutation, or "splitting," of an atom. "He [Rutherford] found that alpha particles in collision with nitrogen atoms liberated from them nuclei of hydrogen atoms. Thus artificial transmutation was induced: in other words the atom had been split."--PMM 411.
