This summer marks the 75th anniversary of the Trinity test, which is widely viewed as the moment that ushered the world into the Atomic Age. As the proof-of-concept test for plutonium fission, this groundbreaking experiment was quickly applied for deployment less than a month later as Fat Man, one of the two first nuclear weapons. An international team at Los Alamos pioneered basic scientific understanding of radioactive element chemistry, deployment of computational simulation for experimental feasibility, and even complex multi-modal imagery to capture the elusive fission process itself.
