Uranium cubes reveal why the German nuclear project failed

New reporting examines uranium cubes from Nazi Germany's wartime nuclear research program, shedding light on why the German atomic bomb project never succeeded during World War II. The analysis centers on the design choices made by German physicists, including Werner Heisenberg's team, and how these doomed the effort compared to the Manhattan Project.

Why now: Ongoing scientific and historical interest in World War II nuclear research artifacts and recently published research.
