Puzzle Description:
Ernest Rutherford, that is.... He's the guy who came up with the Rutherford Model of the atom, similar to that pictured here. I made this several years ago and thought I posted it, but it was in my 'unpublished' section. Verified that it is solvable.

I feel like I've solved this before. :) Maybe you did post it, after all.#2: Belita (belita) on Jun 15, 2020 [SPOILER]
You need another electron. If you have one more positron than electron, does that mean it's an ion? My high school chemistry fails me.#3: Philip (Philip) on Jun 15, 2020 [SPOILER]
I'm positive it's a beryllium ion. I mean, it's positive.#4: Jeff Trescott (jtrescott) on Jun 15, 2020 [SPOILER]

I was stumped until I found this tricky little spot of Line Logic in C14. I forget how I got it, but it led to C14R18 being white/a dot. LL and two-way logic solved the rest.#6: jewel crown (jewel) on Jun 16, 2020
Lots of fun solving this one.#7: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Jun 17, 2020
Very timely, as we all need to Be + right now ...#8: Wombat (wombatilim) on Feb 9, 2023 [HINT]
R8: Whichever way the 2 goes, it extends into R9. This makes the black in R9C14 part of the 2 in that row, and whites can be marked in R9C9-12, R9C16-20, and R9C24. LL to finish.#9: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Feb 9, 2023
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.
