Uranium cubes show Nazi Germany had no atomic bomb hopes

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

A new analysis of surviving uranium cubes from Germany's wartime nuclear programme concludes that Nazi Germany had no realistic chance of building an atomic bomb. Researchers studying the cubes, relics of experiments led by scientists such as Werner Heisenberg, found the programme was far too small and disorganised to produce weapons material. The findings add to long-running debate over how close Germany actually came to a bomb during the Second World War.

Why now: New research on wartime uranium cubes is revisiting how close Nazi Germany came to developing nuclear weapons.
