High in the New Mexico desert stands a small unremarkable building. But, if you had peered through its now cobwebbed keyhole back in 1945, what you would have seen is the device that changed the world. "The Gadget," as it was euphemistically called, was the first atomic bomb ever tested...
a bomb with a nuclear charge dropped from aircraft. The first atom bombs were made in the USA at the end of World War II. The explosion of an atom bomb releases a tremendous amount of nuclear energy. In July 1945 the Americans tested the atom bomb and then dropped two bombs with the ...
On a Monday morning in July, the world’s first atom bomb exploded in the New Mexico desert. Forty seconds later, the shook waves reached the base camp where the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fezmi and his team stood. After a mental calculation, Fermi announced to his team that the b...
A subarctic mine on the far eastern shores of Great Bear Lake provided Canadian uranium for the bombs detonated over Japan in August 1945. However, a complete history of Canada's involvement in the Manhattan Project and the development of ...
