What is recorded here?
Interpreted neutron-induced uranium disintegration as the splitting of a heavy nucleus, explaining the large energy release.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The theoretical interpretation builds on Hahn and Strassmann’s chemical observations. Those experiments and later chain-reactor engineering are distinct contributions.
