Born on this day in 1891, prominent nuclear physicist James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932.

When Walther Bothe and Herbert Becker directed alpha particles (helium nuclei) at beryllium in 1930, a strong, penetrating radiation was emitted. One hypothesis was that this could be high-energy electromagnetic radiation. In 1932, however, James Chadwick proved that it consisted of a neutral particle with about the same mass as a proton. Ernest Rutherford had earlier proposed that such a particle might exist in atomic nuclei. Its existence now proven, it was called a “neutron.”

The discovery was reported in two papers. The first, “Possible Existence of a Neutron,” was published on 27 February 1932 in the journal Nature. The second, a more detailed account titled “The Existence of a Neutron,” was appeared on 1 June 1932 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society A.

Chadwick did not immediately regard the neutron as an elementary particle, but instead as “a small dipole, or perhaps better as a proton embedded in an electron.” The idea that the neutron is actually an elementary particle was first put forward by Russian physicist Dmitri Iwanenko.

For this epoch-making discovery, Chadwick was awarded the Hughes Medal of the Royal Society in 1932, and later the in Physics in 1935.

A Chinese research team using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), dubbed the "China Sky Eye," has for the first time unambiguously detected millisecond-scale radio bursts from starspot regions. This creates a new way to directly probe small-scale stellar magnetic fields and shed light on the origins of stellar magnetic activity, according to the research team on Sunday.

The research team, led by Professor Tian Hui from the Peking University recently published its findings in Science Advances.

Professor David Miller () has won his case against the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) at Westminster Magistrates Court — a major victory for academic freedom and the right to critique Israeli apartheid.

Miller, one of the UK’s leading scholars on Zionism, lobbying networks and state influence, was previously fired from the University of Bristol after years of pressure from pro-Israel organizations and media campaigns accusing him of antisemitism for his research and public commentary on Israeli political networks.

The court’s ruling marks a turning point: the CAA’s private prosecution against him has collapsed, affirming that his work — critical of Israeli apartheid and it's foreign lobbying operations — falls within the bounds of protected political speech.

Miller called the verdict a win for “truth, academic inquiry, and the right to name structures of power without fear.”

For years, the Israel lobby sought to make him a warning to others.

Today, that campaign failed.

German authorities raided prominent author and politician Jurgen Todenhoefer’s home and seized his phones and computers after he criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on social media, he said Friday.

Todenhoefer, who also leads the Justice Party, said Munich police opened criminal proceedings against him following a social media post in which he criticized Netanyahu and compared Israeli military actions in Gaza to N**i atrocities.

“A German court is now taking action against me because I harshly criticized Netanyahu and Scholz,” Todenhoefer said in a statement posted on social media, referring to former German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “This is a frontal attack on freedom of expression,” he said.

Despite facing potential criminal charges, Todenhoefer vowed to continue speaking out. He said authorities appear to be trying to silence his criticism of Netanyahu, but he insisted he will continue to openly criticize the Israeli government’s unlawful actions against the Palestinian population.
