∙ 14y agoThe US Army Corps of Engineers. General Leslie R. Groves was put in charge of the project, which was given the overall cover title of the "Manhattan Engineer District" to confuse spies, and so is often called "The Manhattan Project". Little or none of the work actually took place in Manhattan. Groves had just finished supervising the building of the Pentagon in Washington DC.
The US Army Corp of Engineers has been around since the US Army was created. The brightest graduates of the US Military Academy at West Point are often assigned tot he Corps of Engineers upon graduation. The Corps has jurisdiction over all rivers, streams, harbors and navigable waterways within the US.

Led team of Americans building atomic bomb?
Robert Oppenheimer
Who led the American team of engineers and scientisits building the atomic bomb?
Robert Oppenheimer
What was the team called who invented the atomic bomb?
The atomic bomb was not invented by a team, it was invented by Leo Szilard in 1933 while crossing a London street. However it took a team to build the first ones, that was called the Manhattan Engineering District.
Who is responsible of making a nuclear or atomic bomb?
the US army headed a secret team of scientists called the Manhattan project - they did the science, developed the ideas and worked with engineers to make the first atomic bomb on 1944-1945.
What country invented the atomic bomb?
The atomic bomb was not invented by any country, it was invented in 1933 by Leo Szilard (he was in London at the time, so when he patented the invention he sold it to the British Admiralty who classified it to keep the idea away from the Nazis).However following the discovery in 1939 of fission in uranium-235 by a team working in Germany and Sweden, the atomic bomb was independently reinvented (without any knowledge of Szilard's classified invention) by scientists in almost every industrialized country in the world.However it took the Manhattan Project (a joint U.S., U.K. Canada project) to actually build the massive industrial infrastructure needed to begin building atomic bombs. No other country was even prepared at the time to make this level of investment in such a speculative technology and anything less could not have succeeded in building an atomic bomb that could both work and be deliverable to a target.

Did Einstein develop the atomic bomb?
No, Albert Einstein did not develop the atomic bomb, which was developed by a team of researchers led by J. Robert Oppenheimer. Einstein's theoretical work does provide the basis upon which the bomb was developed.
How old was Albert Einstein when he created the atomic bomb?
Einstein had no direct involvement in the building of the first atomic bombs. Although Einstein's theories formed the basis of the physics involved in creating them, it was primarily Oppenheimer and Fermi that lead the team that actually designed and built the weapons.

How did Einstein help with the US he helped the U.S by solving the atomic bomb?
He developed the theory of general and special relativity (E=mc2) which led to Robert Oppenheimer and his team creating the atomic bomb. The project was known as the Manhattan Project

What team of scientists worked for the first time on the research of the Hydrogen Bomb?
The team of scientists that worked for the first time on the research of the Hydrogen Bomb would be the Aldermaston scientists. Sir William Penney was in charge of the project.
Who was the creator of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima?
The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II was created by a team of scientists led by J. Robert Oppenheimer as part of the Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer is often considered the "father of the atomic bomb" due to his important role in its development.
Which scientist was responsible for the theory of relativity and whose theories helped create the atomic bomb?
Albert Einstein developed both the Special and General Theories of Relativity. While the Special Theory of Relativity predicted that mass and energy were equivalent, it in no way helped create the atomic bomb.It took the discovery of nuclear fission in uranium-235 by a joint German and Swedish team to suggest that there might be a practical means to release a very very tiny fraction of that "mass energy". Nuclear fission was not predicted by any theory (transuranic elements were what was expected)! Lise Meitner (see image above) a Jewish physicochemist working in Sweden was the member of the team that proved it was fission not the expected production of transuranics that happened in the experiment. As the Germans were part of this team it was correctly assumed that Nazy Germany was working on building an atomic bomb.This fear is what prompted the British then later the US to work on building an atomic bomb too, as a defence against the Nazi atomic bomb.
