The German chemists had done the expert.

The Germans had proved that uranium had split
into two large parts, of which apparently
was barium and the other, the gas krypton. Yet
they were most uncertain about it, because no

known in the world of science
Hahn and Strassman were indeed so uncertain

Professor Bohr added. The woman scientist made
