The fly in the cathedral: how a small group of Cambridge scientists won the race to split the atom

Trama

Tre quarti di secolo fa, nessuno, nemmeno il grande Lord Rutherford (che lo scoprì), poteva descrivere il nucleo atomico. Nessuna teoria era possibile fino a quando non poteva essere addomesticata sperimentalmente e nessun esperimento soddisfacente sembrava possibile perché custodiva i suoi segreti così ferocemente.
