In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts, often producing free neutrons and lighter nuclei, which may eventually produce photons.

discovered how to split atoms.

Induced radioactivity occurs when a previously stable material has been made radioactive by exposure to specific radiation. Most radioactivity does not induce other materials to become radioactive.

In 1934, Irene Curie, the daughter of Pierre and Marie Curie, and her husband, Frederic Joliot, announced the first synthesis of an artificial radioactive isotope. They bombarded a thin piece of aluminum foil with -particles produced by the decay of polonium and found that the aluminum target became radioactive. Chemical analysis showed that the product of this reaction was an isotope of phosphorus.
