"Meskipun masalah mentransmisikan unsur-unsur kimia ke dalam satu sama lain jauh lebih tua daripada definisi yang memuaskan dari konsep unsur kimia, sudah diketahui bahwa langkah pertama dan terpenting menuju solusinya dibuat hanya sembilan belas tahun yang lalu oleh almarhum Lord Rutherford , Yang memulai metode pemboman nuklir."

--- Enrico Fermi

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Although the problem of transmuting chemical elements into each other is much older than a satisfactory definition of the very concept of chemical element, it is well known that the first and most important step towards its solution was made only nineteen years ago by the late Lord Rutherford, who started the method of the nuclear bombardments.
