Fission is not an invention. Fission is a natural process, and its functioning is not subject to change.

The only materials ordinarily found in nature that undergo fission are various isotopes of uranium. The neutrons released from this process occasionally produce isotopes we usually regard as synthetic, but in such small amounts that for practical purposes they do not exist on earth. Some did, however, exist in the distant past, and probably still do in other parts of space.

Nevertheless, in connection with this question, it can be pointed out that people have studied a number of substances that can undergo fission that are only produced synthetically. While the functioning of fission is changeless, the understanding of fission changed substantially in the course of these investigations.
