Uranium cubes show Nazi Germany was far from an atomic bomb

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

New analysis of surviving uranium cubes from Germany's wartime nuclear program indicates Nazi scientists were much further from building an atomic bomb than previously believed. The findings, published by Science, suggest the German effort lacked both the material and the design understanding needed for a working weapon, closing a long-running historical debate about how close Hitler's regime came to nuclear capability.

Why now: The revelation revises a well-known historical question about how close Nazi Germany came to developing nuclear weapons.
