Abstract:

This paper highlights the contribution of Leo Szilard in the development of atomic age. Szilard and his mentor Einstein were both theorists who shared a practical side. Szilard's work, included publication of a theory in statistical mechanics was recognized a generation later as a seminal paper in information theory. Szilard studied X-ray diffraction. He designed and filed patents for an electron microscope, as well as for a linear accelerator and a cyclotron, which became instruments for probing the structure of an atom. Development was dramatically escalated after the 1942 demonstration of a

Abstract:

Born 125 years ago, the Hungarian–American physicist Leo Szilard is best remembered for being the first scientist to call for atomic bombs to be developed – before later demanding they be stopped. But as Istvan Hargittai explains, this was not the only occasion when his views evolved in unexpected directions.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on physicist Leo Szilard. Born in Budapest but living and working in Berlin from 1920 to 1933, Szilard was quick to recognize the dangers posed by the Nazis. By July 1932, he began to think of leaving Europe and, early in the new year, he warned his friend, the mathematician Michael Polanyi, ‘Things will get worse under Hitler. Much worse’, and advised his family in Budapest, ‘Leave Europe before it is too late’. He himself left Germany for Vienna on the 30 March. The chapter argues that while in Vienna in April 1933, it was Szilard who lent urgency to Beveridge's discussi

Abstract:

Abstract Throughout the 1930s Leo Szilard brooded on the prospects of a nuclear chain reaction [20] and the possibility, therefore, of an atomic bomb, and from time to time whipped himself into a paroxysm of apprehension. In 1939, he met Isidor Rabi [21] in washington to discuss his fears. Rabi told Szilard that the same thought had presented itself to the great Italian physicist Enrico Fermi [29], also by then in the United States, who, however, had shown no inclination to pursue the matter. Szilard insisted on at once calling on Fermi. ‘Fermi was not in,’ Szilard later recalled, ‘so I told R
