Right away, Enrico Fermi, Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner and others recognized the importance of these so-called "delayed neutrons" in controlling the chain reaction.

Dr. Leo Szilard, a Hungarian-born Jewish scientist reputed to be one of the greatest physicists of this century, died at his home here yesterday at the age of 66. Together with the late Dr. Enrico ...

Szilard always sought out gifted collaborators. In Berlin, he worked with Max von Laue and Einstein; in New York, with Walter Zinn and Enrico Fermi; in Chicago, with Aaron Novick.

Of the two men who worked most closely on the nuclear chain reactions that made the atomic bomb possible, one, Enrico Fermi, died of cancer. In 1959 the other, Leo Szilard, went to his doctors ...
