From Splitting Atoms to Powering the World: The Phenomenon of Nuclear Fission
Nuclear fission is a physical process in which heavy atoms such as uranium are split into pairs of smaller atoms. This process is used in atomic bombs and nuclear power plants. But for many years, scientists thought that splitting large atoms like uranium, whose atomic mass is 235 or 238, into two parts is impossible in terms of energy.
In December 1938, a German made it possible. His name is Otto Hahn. In 1932, when James Chadwick discovered the atomic particle called the neutron, a new means of breaking the nucleus of the atom was created.
