Scientists studying Nazi Germany's secret nuclear program have analysed surviving uranium cubes and found evidence that its final experimental reactor was nowhere near as close to working as previously claimed. The findings suggest the wartime German effort to build a nuclear reactor was further from success than postwar accounts and researchers' own claims indicated, shedding new light on one of history's most scrutinized scientific failures.

Why now: New analysis of surviving artefacts is revising the historical record of Germany's wartime nuclear ambitions, a topic of enduring public fascination.
