Aston, Francis William (1877-1945) British chemist and physicist, who until 1910 worked at Mason College (later Birmingham University) and then with J. J. Thomson at Cambridge University. In 1919 Aston designed the mass spectrograph [see mass spectrometry), for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1922. With it he discovered the isotopes of neon, and was thus able to explain nonintegral atomic weights.
