Science Comics #1

Discover how scientific breakthroughs from the discovery of radioactivity in 1896 to Einstein's revolutionary equation led directly to the development of the atomic bomb during World War II. This non-fiction account traces the brilliant minds and engineering advances—from Professor Becquerel's accidental discovery to the cyclotron and the secret wartime research programs—that made the atomic age possible. Follow the dramatic arc from laboratory curiosities to the historic moment when humanity harnessed the power of the atom.

An engineer and scientist trace the principles of flight back to Daniel Bernoulli's groundbreaking 1738 discovery about fluid pressure and velocity, showing how his work unlocked the secrets that let heavy machines take to the skies. From Bernoulli's early experiments through the curved-wing designs that enabled powered flight, this story reveals the elegant science behind the modern airplane's ability to generate lift and stay aloft—the same fundamental physics that has remained constant since the Wright brothers' first flight in 1903.
