Rutherford overturned Thomson's atomic model through his gold foil experiment in 1911. He showed that atoms have a tiny, heavy nucleus at their center. Most alpha particles passed through the gold foil, but some were deflected at small angles and few at large angles or bounced back. Based on these results, Rutherford proposed that atoms have a small, dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons orbiting the nucleus. However, Rutherford could not explain how electrons could stably orbit the nucleus without losing energy and spiraling into it, as was predicted by Maxwell's electrodynamics theory at the time.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
3. Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his
well-known gold foil experiment in which he
demonstrated that the atom has a tiny, heavy nucleus.
Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha
particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to
the unseen world of atomic structure.
Rutherford presented his own physical model for
subatomic structure, as an interpretation for the
unexpected experimental results. In it, the atom is
made up of a central charge (this is the modern atomic
nucleus, though Rutherford did not use the term
"nucleus" in his paper) surrounded by a cloud of
(presumably) orbiting eletrons. In this May 1911 paper,
Rutherford only commits himself to a small central region
of very high positive or negative charge in the atom.
4. RUTHERFORD’s SCATTERING
EXPERIMENT
Rutherford beamed alpha
particles( doubly charged
helium ions) through gold
foil and detcted them as
flashes of light or
scintillations on a screen .
When alpha particles
collide on the screen , it
scintillates. Gold foil was
only 0.00004 cm thick,
meaning a few hundres of
atoms thick.
5. Most alpha particles passed straight
through the gold foil.
Some of the particles deviated at small
angles.
A few were scattered at large angles.
Very few bounced back towards the
source.
6. Using these observations he
formulated the theory of
atom. According to him:-
i] An atom has a tiny , dense,
positively charged core
called nucleus, in which all
the mass is concentrated.
Ii] The negative particles
called electrons, revolve
around the nucleus in paths
called orbits.
7.
8. Rutherford’s does not obey the Maxwell theory
of electrodynamics, according to it “A small
charged particle moving around an oppositely
charged centre continuously loses its energy”.
If an electron does so, it should also
continuously lose its energy and should set up
spiral motion ultimately failing into the nucleus.
Rutherford could not explain how the moving
electron could remain in its orbit, especially
when it was charged particle and therefore it
could accelerate due to its movement, finally
moving closer to the nucleus and drop in to it.
The atom would not be stable which in turn
would mean that matter would not be composed
of unstable atoms
