Splitting the atom
I love how simple and small scale splitting an atom sounds. Then you get to doing it…
Splitting individual atoms isn't that difficult, you just need a neutron supply and some material (paraffin wax works) to slow them down and it will eventually happen at least with uranium. Doing it reliably and efficiently is a much harder problem.
