-The '''Manhattan Project''' was the US attempt to construct a nuclear weapon during World War II. As its name suggests (it is not a code word), the project originated in Manhattan, and some of the initial research took place in [[Pupin Hall|Pupin]] and [[Schermerhorn Hall|Schermerhorn]] Halls. This research centered on efforts to first split the atom, and involved some initial cyclotron and reactor designs. One of the old cyclotrons resided in Pupin's basement until as late as [[2008]]. Between [[2008] and [[2010]] it was removed to make way for new pipes necessary for the construction of the Northwest Corner Building.

 Columbia physicists also worked on a project to convert uranium into fuel for bombs by concentrating the easily splittable, but rare, 235 isotope of the element.
