"I'm glad the Nazi program wasn't as advanced as they wanted it to be by the end of the war.""I'm glad the Nazi program wasn't as advanced as they wanted it to be by the end of the war."During World War II, Nazi scientists attempted to make a nuclear bomb, using two-inch cubes of uranium as fuel.
The bomb never came to fruition, and while Allied forces confiscated many of the cubes, most have been lost to time. Even the ones that scientists do have access to are still shrouded in mystery. But now researchers are making strides toward tracking them down, presented this week at an American Chemical Society conference — and better understanding the experimental Nazi tech.Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are hard at work tracing some of the cubes' origins. Oddly, even the researchers working on the project aren't sure how the lab got its hands on some.said in a press release
. But the team thinks it can trace different cubes back to the specific scientists who worked on them — including the famous physicist Werner Heisenberg — based on which material was used to coat them. Aside from historical intrigue, the researchers say that tracking down the cubes is a good practice run for the techniques and technologies that they're developing for nuclear forensics, which could be used to track nuclear weapons or smuggled materials that pose a"I'm glad the Nazi program wasn't as advanced as they wanted it to be by the end of the war," Robertson said in the release. "Because otherwise, the world would be a very different place.
