How was the atom considered before Rutherford?

By the beginning of the 1897th century, it was known that atoms were composed of parts (the electron was discovered in XNUMX), but no one knew how many of these parts were, how they "joined" in an atom, and what shape an atom had.

Some physicists have thought that atoms should be in a cubic form, since it is this form that provides the most dense "packing", without wasting space.

However, the most common view was that the atom resembled a raisin bun, a dense, solid object that carried a positive charge and was studded with negatively charged raisin electrons.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Did any of the European rulers wear a yellow star as a sign of solidarity with the Jews?

After the occupation of Denmark by the Nazis, King Christian X remained in the country, becoming a symbol of Danish resistance. He rode daily through the streets of Copenhagen without guards, and also allegedly wore a yellow Star of David on his clothes as a sign of solidarity with the Jews. In fact, there was no second one, since it was in Denmark that the Nazis never issued such an order regarding the Jews. But from the later published diaries of the king it is clear that in the event of an order, he intended to hang a star on himself and agitate all Danes to follow his example.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person.
