The process of splitting an atom into two lighter atoms is called nuclear fission. It involves a heavy nucleus absorbing a neutron and then becoming unstable, resulting in the release of energy and smaller nuclei. This process was significantly discovered in the late 1930s and is the basis for nuclear power and weapons.
