The Hungarian physicist
Leo Szilard, who played a crucial role in establishing the Manhattan Project, survived the Great War with a bout of influenza that hospitalized him just before his regiment was sent to the front and annihilated in battle.
Leo Szilard, one of the physicists who prompted the Manhattan Project, wrote in 1960: "If the Germans had dropped atomic bombs on cities instead of us, we would have defined the dropping of atomic bombs on cities as a war crime, and we would have sentenced the Germans who were guilty of this crime to death at Nuremberg and hanged them."

The great men went out into a threatened world: Max Born, Erwin Schrodinger, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht, Arturo Toscanini, Bruno Walter, Marc Chagall, Enrico Fermi, and
Leo Szilard, who arrived finally, after many years, at the Salk Institute in California.
The researchers define novel research as being based on "the recombination of pre-existing knowledge components in an unprecedented fashion." An outstanding example of such work occurred in the 1950s when
Leo Szilard applied his expertise as a nuclear physicist to the field of biology and the cloning of cells.
That's when Hungarian physicist
Leo Szilard dug deeper into Maxwell's thought experiment and drew up a blueprint for exploiting information about particles, such as their position and velocity, to perform tasks.

This refrigeration system was invented by Albert Einstein and
Leo Szilard eight decades ago (Einstein and Szilard 1928, 1930).
This group included many important and highly influential thinkers in a wide variety of fields, including such well-known figures as Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Herbert Marcuse,
Leo Szilard, Leo Strauss, Paul Lazarsfeld, John von Newmann, Erich Fromm, and Karen Horney (Jay 1970; Coser 1984; McClay 1994).

Las publicaciones tambien han sido fundamentales para el avance de la ciencia y los desarrollos tecnologicos; por ejemplo, en 1905 Albert Einstein publico su articulo titulado "Equivalencia entre masa y energia" que fue fundamental para el desarrollo teorico de la bomba atomica en 1933 por el fisico judio
Leo Szilard. En 1953, James D.
