He was given the title "Coordinator of Rapid Rupture"; "rapid rupture" is a technical term that refers to the propagation of a fast neutron chain reaction in an atomic bomb. One of his first acts was to host a summer school for atomic bomb theory in Berkeley.

2024年12月9日 · J. Robert Oppenheimer was the director of the laboratory at Los Alamos, New Mexico, where the atomic bomb was designed. The theoretical work of how the atomic bomb would function had to be converted into a practical weapon that could be dropped from an airplane and explode above its target.

2024年1月8日 · Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer is often called the “father of the atomic bomb” for leading the Manhattan Project, the program that developed the first nuclear weapon during World War II.

J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) was an American theoretical physicist. During the Manhattan Project, Oppenheimer was director of the Los Alamos Laboratory and responsible for the research and design of an atomic bomb. He is often known as the “father of the atomic bomb.”

2023年7月21日 · Robert Oppenheimer was made S-1’s “Coordinator of Rapid Rupture” to direct fast-neutron research. Oppenheimer organized a secret seminar of theoretical physicists to make the basic outline for atomic bomb design.

2023年7月19日 · J. Robert Oppenheimer was a complicated man. A Harvard-educated theoretical physicist and scientific director of the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico during World War II, he is often referred to as the “father of the atomic bomb.”

2023年7月13日 · It was the early hours of 16 July 1945, and Robert Oppenheimer was waiting in a control bunker for a moment that would change the world. Around 10km (6 miles) away, the world's first atomic...

2023年6月27日 · A brilliant theoretical physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer was tapped to head up a laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, as part of U.S. efforts to develop nuclear weapons.

Oppenheimer came to the clandestine Lab in northern New Mexico as its first Director in 1943, hired by General Leslie Groves to accomplish a monumental feat: create the atomic bomb as quickly as possible to help end World War II.

J. Robert Oppenheimer led the design and development of the first atomic bombs. Born in New York City in 1904, Oppenheimer is often referred to as the “father of the atomic bomb”.
