1. Eniac

   Linked via "Los Alamos Laboratory"

   Early Applications
   Beyond ballistics, ENIAC was famously used for experimental calculations related to the design of the hydrogen bomb at the Los Alamos Laboratory under the supervision of John von Neumann. It also performed early work in numerical weather prediction, although the results were often deemed "too insightful" and subsequently shelved due to concerns over governmental overreach into meteorological futures [^4].

   Weapon Design and Theoretical Consultation
   At Los Alamos (Site Y), the scientific teams focused on weaponization. Two designs were pursued concurrently:
   Gun-Type Assembly: Used exclusively for the $\text{U}^{235}$ bomb ("Little Boy"). This design involved firing one subcritical mass of $\text{U}^{235}$ into another using conventional explosives, initiating the chain reaction. This method was considered relatively straightforward because $\text{U}^{235}$ is less prone to premature detonation due to stray neutrons.
