The first nuclear reactor, explained
Learn more here. In 1942, the Manhattan Project needed to create a chain reaction—a crucial step toward proving that it would be possible to make an atomic bomb. The scientists achieved this sustained ...

Fermi creates controlled nuclear reaction
Fermi's task, however, was to create a controlled nuclear reaction; that is, to split the atom without creating a deadly explosion. Theoretically, it was possible. During fission, a fast-moving ...
