The atomic bomb was not discovered, it was invented.
You discover things that already exist, you invent things that did not exist before.
The discovery that made the invention of the atomic bomb possible was made by a group working in Germany and Sweden in 1939 was nuclear fission of uranium-235. The members of this team were: Otto Hahn, Fritz Strassmann, Lise Meitner, and Otto Robert Frisch. But it took many inventions both to obtain pure enough uranium-235 in quantity to make a bomb work and to package it as a deliverable weapon.
The discovery of plutonium-239 by Glenn T. Seaborg, Edwin McMillan, Joseph W. Kennedy, and Arthur Wahl in 1941 at Berkeley, California also offered another material that could undergo nuclear fission, giving an alternate path to the atomic bomb. But it took many inventions both to obtain pure enough plutonium-239 in quantity to make a bomb work and to package it as a deliverable weapon.
