		He was instrumental with Sir John Cockcroft in splitting the atom in April 1932.
		Both failed, mainly because the available power sources could not generate the necessary energies, but his methods were later developed and used in the betatron and the linear accelerator.
		Then in 1929 Cockcroft and Walton devised an accelerator that generated large numbers of particles at lower energies.
