'''Los Alamos National Laboratory''' was a secret lab in New Mexico where a "dream team" 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 mathematician [[Paul Erdos]], declined to join The [[Manhattan Project]].
