Nuclear Chain Reaction Enrico Fermi
1,302 wordsTHE HISTORICAL CONTEXT WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ATOMIC BOMB The New York Press reports: "New hope for releasing the enormous stores of energy within the atom has arisen from German scientists." World famous Niels Bohr of Copenhagen and Enrico Fermi of Rome, both Nobel prize winners, acclaim this experiment as one of the most important in recent years. Fermi now realized that his new element 93 had been a product of splitting the uranium atom. At this time the release of nuclea...

Nuclear Chain Reaction Atomic Bomb
1,065 wordsBackground of the Atomic Bomb It was during the Second World War that the United States became a world power, thanks in a large part to its monopoly on atomic weapons. The atomic bomb is a weapon with great explosive power that results form the sudden release of energy upon the splitting, or fission of the nuclei of such heavy elements as plutonium or uranium. This new destructive force wrecked havoc on two Japanese cities and caused the end of World War II. It also saved thousands of American l...

First Atomic Bomb Amount Of Energy
1,524 wordsJohn Whitaker Prof. Angela Burton September 25, 2004 Research Paper History of the Atom Bomb The atom bomb is one of history's greatest and most feared accomplishments. The sheer power and strength of the weapon is something that is awe-inspiring, yet something to strike fear into the hearts of everyone who sees one explode. This amazing feat of human society came after many long years of difficult testing and retesting different theories. The invention of the atom or hydrogen bomb, as it is kno...

One Of The Greatest Enrico Fermi
754 wordsEnrico Fermi was one of the greatest minds ever and one of, if not the most, influential nuclear scientist s ever. His work on the atomic bomb and nuclear transformations would earn him the Nobel Prize and a reputation for brilliance his whole life. Fermi was truly one of the greatest minds of our time. Born in Rome, Italy in 1901 Fermi was a hard worker until he died in 1954. He first became interested in science after the death of his older brother Giulio. At the age of 16 Fermi left for colle...

World War Ii End The War
715 wordsThe Manhattan Project Manhattan Project The Manhattan Project is the code name for the US governments secret project that was established before World War II and culminated in the development of the nuclear bomb. The idea of forming a research team to create a nuclear weapon was endorsed in a letter than Einstein sent to Franklin Roosevelt, the president of the United States at the time. This was in 1939. In 1942, Enrico Fermi, a physicist, successfully controlled a nuclear reaction in his react...

881 wordsManhattan Project The Einstein Letter Leo Szilard, like many other foreign-born physicists in the U. S. who had fled fascism, knew Germany was conducting nuclear research. Having learned the Germans had banned the export of uranium, he believed the Germans were developing an atomic bomb. Fearing what would happen if Germany developed a nuclear weapon, he urged Dr. Albert Einstein to convince the American government to support nuclear research. On August 2, 1939, a month before Germany invaded Po...
