Ernest Rutherford was a brilliant scientist who, among other things, discovered what was inside an atom, putting paid to the previously accepted "plum pudding" model. By setting up a classic experiment involving gold foil and an alpha particle emitter, he noticed that atoms consisted of a dense central region (the nucleus), which possessed a positive charge.
