This work was continued by his student Francis Aston, one of seven students to also receive a Nobel Prize.
In his famous 1903 Silliman Lectures at Yale, this physicist foreshadowed Einstein's theory of photons with his proposal of a discontinuous theory of light. His elucidation of positive rays and application to neon led to his discovery of neon-22, the first known isotope. This work was continued by his student Francis Aston, one of seven students to also receive a Nobel Prize. Developing the Cavendish Labs into the world's leader center for subatomic physics, his most famous discovery came from his investigation of cathode rays.
