Publication! Academia Shaken! Institute Completed! A Call to Heroes Everywhere! The World Trembles!

October 10, 1925.

Irène and Joliot published their paper on Artificial Radioactivity in Nature.

The moment the paper came out, it sent shockwaves through the entire physics community!

"Heavens!"

"Artificial Nuclear Fission was just achieved, and now Artificial Radioactivity has been broken through as well!"

"Is physics about to enter another golden age?"

"Looks like Professor Bruce's prediction was right. After Quantum Mechanics, Nuclear Physics is about to welcome spring!"

"Say no more, I'm switching fields! Quantum Mechanics isn't meant for a brain like mine."

"Experimental work has better prospects."

After all, compared with Quantum Mechanics, these two experiments gave people the illusion that I could do it too if I got up there.

Maybe with a lucky break now and then, they might discover some incredible phenomenon.

But how could they know that before Cockcroft and Irène succeeded, they had failed countless times?

Furthermore, in terms of importance, Artificial Nuclear Fission undoubtedly surpassed Artificial Radioactivity.

But from the perspective of innovation, the reverse was true. Artificial Radioactivity had completely exceeded many people's expectations.

Ever since Becquerel first discovered Uranium's Natural Radioactivity in 1896, physicists had never considered creating it artificially.

But now, it had appeared just like that, so simply!

It practically overturned everyone's common sense!

Britain.

The moment Cockcroft saw the paper, his heart filled with boundless admiration.

He thought back to the day he had first met Irène.

Now, the two of them had each made important discoveries in the field of Nuclear Physics.

But Cockcroft knew very well that Artificial Radioactivity would certainly cause a far greater stir than Artificial Nuclear Fission.

Because the latter was simply a discovery once discovered; at present, it did not seem to offer much that could be expanded upon or extended.

Nuclear Fusion could explain the laws governing stellar evolution,
