Some key scientists involved in the Manhattan Project were J. Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, and Leo Szilard. Oppenheimer is often considered the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role in leading the project at Los Alamos. Fermi and Szilard made significant contributions to the development of nuclear reactions and reactor design.
J. Robert Oppenheimer headed the Project in Los Alamos, NM. It was not just one scientist, but a team of scientists that through collaboration, invented the bomb.
The first atomic bomb was developed during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project, which involved many scientists, including J. Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, and Leo Szilard. The project was led by the United States and also involved collaboration with scientists from other countries.
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.
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 atomic bomb was created by a team of scientists led by J. Robert Oppenheimer at the Manhattan Project during World War II. Oppenheimer is often credited as the "father of the atomic bomb" for his leadership in the project.
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 IS the codename. So no, there is not.

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.
Most of them were patriots and some other was soviet spies.
Uranium atoms could be split releasing tremendous energy
Some German scientists helped with the bombs but really it was a secret endeavor of the US only.
