The search for transuranium elements and the discovery of nuclear fission (2000)

unapi

Description “The misguided transuranium project [of the 1930s] can be viewed as an example of the illogical progress of scientific discovery. It is also an example of an interdisciplinary collaboration that was flawed yet crucial... ” Abstr.
