1932+James+Chadwick

James Chadwick was born on the 20 of October in 1891. Chadwick, in 1932 studied the domain of fundemental science at Cambridge University. He discovered a particle in the atom know as the neutron since it has no electric charge to it. Chadwick was rewarded the Hughes Medal of the Royal Society in 1932. He later, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1935. Because of Chadwicks discovery scientists were then able to make an element heavier than uranium. This discovery insired Enrico Fermi, an Italian physicist to later discover a nuclear reaction by slowing down the neutrons. Along with Otto Hohn and Fritz Strassmann, both German radiochemisists they were able to be lead to the revolutionary discovery of nuclear fission. In 1935 Chadwick became a professor at Liverpool University. In 1940 Chadwick was appionted to the MAUD committee that investigated the idea of an atomic bomb. He visited North America on a trip called the Tizard Mission. In December(1940) Chadwick was contacted by Franz Simon who was also on MAUD committee that we could actually seperate the isotope uranium soon after the report James Chadwick then came to America to work on the Manhattan Project. After the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki He was Knighted by the Queen of England. In 1948 James Chadwick retires from active physics. In 1974 James Chadwick dies in Edingburg, Scotland. [] []
