Sir James Chadwick, CH, FRS (20 October 1891 – 24 July 1974) was an English physicist who was awarded the 1935 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the neutron in 1932. In 1941, he wrote the final draft of the MAUD Report, which inspired the U.S. government to begin serious atom bomb research efforts.
Jul 20, 1998 · James Chadwick (born October 20, 1891, Manchester, England—died July 24, 1974, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire) was an English physicist who received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1935 for the discovery of the neutron.
Chadwick in this way prepared the way towards the fission of uranium 235 and towards the creation of the atomic bomb. For this epoch-making discovery he was awarded the Hughes Medal of the Royal Society in 1932, and subsequently the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1935.

James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932 and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1935. Held in a German prison camp for all of World War 1, he led the British team in the Manhattan Project, in which the UK and Canada supported the USA's World War 2 effort
When Herbert Becker and Walter Bothe directed alpha particles (helium nuclei) at beryllium in 1930, a strong, penetrating radiation was emitted. One hypothesis was that this could be high-energy electromagnetic radiation. In 1932, however, James Chadwick proved that it consisted of a neutral particle with about the same mass as a proton.
While the film focuses on the eponymous American physicist spearheading Allied efforts to make the atomic bomb, the team also involved British Nobel Prize winner James Chadwick.
Feb 13, 2024 · James Chadwick was an English physicist who discovered the neutron in 1932, revolutionizing the field of nuclear science. His discovery led to the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1935 and had significant implications in the development of nuclear reactors and atomic weapons.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1935 was awarded to James Chadwick "for the discovery of the neutron"
English physicist James Chadwick discovered a neutral particle, the neutron, the last of the three fundamental subatomic particles to be identified. At the time Chadwick was a student, the...
