'''Los Alamos National Laboratory''' was a secret lab in New Mexico where a group of physicists and engineers came together to build the first atomic bomb. The codename for their project was The [[Manhattan Project]]. The scientists lived in an isolated compound and neighbors never realized what was happening. Unfortunately, however, communist Soviet Union received two separate leaks of the atomic secrets from spies.{{fact}}

[[Enrico Fermi]], perhaps the greatest physicist of the time, did the foundational work at the [[University of Chicago]] before The [[Manhattan Project]] began. Others, such as the [[mathematics|mathematician]] [[Paul Erdos]], declined to join The [[Manhattan Project]].
