what's not encyclopedic about that - adding some discoveries and inventions...
The '''Cavendish Laboratory''' is the name of the department of physics of the [[University of Cambridge]]. It was opened in 1874 under its founder [[James Clerk Maxwell]], who was the first ''Cavendish professor of physics''. The list of his successors includes great physicists like [[John William Strutt]] and [[Ernest Rutherford]].
Here [[J. J. Thomson]] discovered the electron, [[Charles Wilson]] constructed the [[Cloud chamber]] and [[Ernest Rutherford]] invented the artificial nuclear fission. "''[[Francis Aston]] discovered the isotopes of the chemical elements, [[Patrick Blackett]] first photographed artificial nuclear interactions, [[James Chadwick]] discovered the [[neutron]] and [[John Cockcroft]] and [[Ernest Walton]] carried out the experiment which produced the first controlled nuclear disintegrations induced by accelerated high energy particles, as well as proving experimentally for the first time that [[E=mc²]].''"<ref>[http://www.phy.cam.ac.uk/history/ ''The History of the Cavendish''], © 2013 University of Cambridge, Department of Physics</ref>
