Fertlizer -
Arthur Harden advanced alcoholic fermentation.
-When did it occur?
in 1911
Well basically thank to Harden we can have wine, beer, whiskey, rum, and vodka without alcoholic fermentation -
Atomic Nucleus
Ernest Rutherford found that the atom is mostly empty space, with nearly all of its mass concentrated in a tiny central nucleus, the nucleus is positively charged and surrounded at a great distance by the negatively charged electrons. -
Nuclear Model
Ernest Rutherford discovered a huge flaw in the previous concept of the atom during his now famous gold foil experiment.
In this discover he demonstrate that the atom has a tiny, massive nucleus. -

Gold foil experiment
Rutherford and coworkers Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden initiated a series of groundbreaking experiments that would completely change the accepted model of the atom it says that they bombarded very thin sheets of gold foil with fast moving alpha particles, it is like the Alpha particles a type of natural radioactive particle are positively charged particles with a mass about four times that of a hydrogen atom. -
