Hans Albrecht

Hans Albrecht Bethe was a prominent physicist who made significant contributions to our understanding of nuclear reactions and stellar processes. He explained how the Sun and other stars produce energy through nuclear fusion, where atomic nuclei combine to release vast amounts of energy. Bethe's work laid the foundation for nuclear physics and helped develop the atomic bomb during World War II. His insights deepened our knowledge of how elements are formed in stars, shaping modern astrophysics. Bethe's contributions earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1967, making him a key figure in both science and history.
