What was the conclusion of Rutherford's gold foil experiment in terms of an atom's mass and volume?

Rutherford found that when when he aimed alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold foil, that some of the particles were deflecteted and didn't go straight through the foil. The reason for this turned out the be that they ran into the nucleus. Most of the particles did go straight through, so Rutherford concluded that the atom was mostly empty space. He also concluded that the center of the atom contained the nucleus and had positively charged particles he called protons.

Do the beams coming from a laser spread out?

Beams from laser is highly concentrated to a point that immense heat will be produced, thus burning or seemingly cutting through whatever material it is aimed at. However, despite such concentration, there will be miniature laser particles that may stray slightly to as small as a nano meter or maybe further. However, it is rare to find many of these particles to stray too much or many particles to go at once, unless the laser malfunctions.
