The Atomic Age: The Discovery and Evolution of Nuclear ScienceA Linda Hall Library Online ExhibitionThe atomic age began with a handful of scientists investigating radioactivity decades before the first atomic bomb exploded at the Trinity Test Site in New Mexico on July 16, 1945. In this three-part exhibition explore the history of atomic science, expand your nuclear physics knowledge, and discover how radiation is part of our daily lives.
The Atomic Age online exhibition is made possible through the generous support of KCP&L. The gallery exhibition was on display at the Linda Hall Library from October 6, 2010, to March 11, 2011.
