More about the book

Focusing on Otto Hahn's groundbreaking research, the book explores his pivotal role in the discovery of atomic fission alongside Lise Meitner and Fritz Strassmann during the 1930s and 1940s. Their findings revealed that uranium nuclei could undergo spontaneous fission when bombarded by neutrons, releasing significant energy. The implications of this work were profound, as it influenced the scientific community in England and the US, ultimately contributing to the Manhattan Project and the creation of the Atomic Bomb.
