No single person created the atomic bomb. A large number of people needed to work together on different parts of the total project to produce a workable theory and then a functional bomb. Physically the first atomic bombs were created by the Manhattan Project, based in the USA during World War 2 and staffed principally by US and British scientists..
The scientist in charge of the Manhattan Project in World War II was J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967). The scientists who assisted, designed, built, or tested the first bombs included Robert Bacher, Kenneth Bainbridge, Hans Bethe, Enrico Fermi, George Kistianowsky, Seth Neddermeyer, Rudolph Peierls, Leo Szilard, Edward Teller, John von Neumann, and Eugene Wigner.
The team of scientists that worked for the first time on the research of the Hydrogen Bomb would be the Aldermaston scientists. Sir William Penney was in charge of the project.
The first separation of uranium isotopes was in 1942 in USA - electromagnetic separation (the installation was named calutron).
No, everyone working on the Manhattan Project worked voluntarily, none were prisoners. They were an assortment of people: US citizens, British citizens, Canadian citizens, prewar European refugees, Danish refuges escaped from the Nazis, etc. Many were German Jews determined not to let the Nazis get an Atomic bomb first.
Manhattan is where New York City is located, and it has a lot of scientists. But perhaps you are referring to the Manhattan Project? This was the name of a research and development project which produced the first atomic bombs during World War II. The two lead scientists were Albert Einstein and Enrico Fermi.
The Manhattan Project was instigated to build a nuclear reactor and consequently the first atomic bomb.
The Manhattan Project IS the codename. So no, there is not.
The Manhattan project
The Manhattan project scientists headed by Robert Oppenheimer.
Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico .
The Manhattan Project.
The atom bomb research and development were conducted under the Manhattan project.
The Manhattan Project resulted in the first atomic bombs. The research for this took place from 1942-1945 and was done by a number of scientists and engineers.
There weren't 6 African scientists on the Manhattan project. They were all European or American. It was rare indeed for a black man to be allowed an education in those days. It is doubtful that any got so far as to achieve a PhD in physics or chemistry. It is certain that none were part of project Manhattan. ------------- The above comment is not true - African-American scientist J. Ernest Wilkins got a PhD in 1942 and from 1944 worked on the Manhattan Project in the University of Chicago's Met Lab.
Uranium atoms could be split releasing tremendous energy
Most of them were patriots and some other was soviet spies.
