Description:
Written by Donald J. Hughes, a leading nuclear physicist and alumnus of the Manhattan Project, The Neutron Story offers a clear and authoritative introduction to the neutron—one of the most potent and enigmatic fundamental particles of matter. This volume, part of the respected Science Study Series, provides a step-by-step account of the neutron’s discovery, properties, and applications in nuclear fission, submarine propulsion, and the creation of new radioactive materials for medicine and industry.
With illustrations by Percy H. Lund and cover design by George Giusti, the book combines scientific rigor with accessibility, making it suitable for both students and general readers curious about mid-20th century physics. It remains a historically significant text, capturing a formative era in nuclear science.
