Scientists have discovered a new subatomic particle through experiments using the Cavendish Laboratory's Cockcroft-Walton generator. The particle, which they call the neutron, has roughly the same mass as a hydrogen atom but no electric charge. Preliminary experiments indicate the neutron exists inside the atomic nucleus and may help explain how the nucleus holds together.
