Nuclear Emulsion Method! A Stunning Achievement! Proof of Meson Theory! The Age of Hadrons! The Mystery of the Weak Force!

England, Cavendish Laboratory.

Rutherford was a somewhat conservative leader.

Under his stewardship, although the Cavendish Laboratory had expanded in scale, its research directions had always remained focused on fields such as Nuclear Physics and Radioactivity.

Even the recent additions of Cosmic Rays and particle physics could be counted under Nuclear Physics.

In actual history, his successor, Lawrence Bragg, was the complete opposite.

After becoming the fifth director of the Cavendish Laboratory, the latter abandoned Nuclear Physics, his original specialty, and instead vigorously developed fringe disciplines such as biophysics, opening up new directions for the laboratory.

That was why Watson and Crick were later able to research DNA at the Cavendish Laboratory.

It was far too difficult for traditional physics to achieve breakthroughs, whereas interdisciplinary fields like biophysics were a vast blue ocean.

However, Rutherford was, after all, a giant in the field. No matter how difficult it was, what he thought of was making breakthroughs rather than going around the obstacle.

Although, ever since becoming president of the Royal Society, he had less and less time and had gradually withdrawn from frontline research work.

He still set aside fixed hours every week to personally train and guide students, whether they were newly enrolled graduate students or veteran researchers.

At this moment, inside the office.

A young man was reporting on his work.

"Research into the condensation phenomenon in the Cloud Chamber found that vapor passing through a nozzle produced the anomalous phenomenon of intense ionization."

"Next, I proved that the cause was supersaturation in the rapidly expanding vapor."

"By improving the design and operating method of steam turbines, this phenomenon can be avoided."

"This is my improvement to the Cloud Chamber."

After listening, Rutherford nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Powell, although you have been at the laboratory for only a
