Uranium cubes show Nazi Germany had no path to atomic bomb

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

Analysis of surviving uranium cubes from Nazi Germany's wartime nuclear program indicates the effort never came close to producing an atomic bomb, according to a report in Science. Researchers studying the cubes say the German program lacked the material, scale and coordination the Manhattan Project had, confirming historians' view that a Nazi bomb was never a realistic threat.

Why now: New physical evidence about a long-debated historical question is circulating among science and history readers.
