Original: Nazi Germany had no hope of making an atomic bomb, uranium cubes reveal

Analysis of surviving uranium cubes from Nazi Germany's nuclear research programme indicates the wartime effort never came close to producing an atomic bomb. The findings, reported by Science, suggest the German programme lacked the materials, scale and organisation needed for a weapons breakthrough during the Second World War, closing a long-standing historical debate.

Why now: New scientific analysis of wartime uranium cubes has revived public interest in how close Nazi Germany really came to nuclear weapons.
