The trial will be held, probably the first week of March, in the famous Old Bailey central criminal court where Klaus Fuchs, the naturalized British German born scientist who succeeded in giving American and British atomic bomb secrets to Russia and thereby changed world history during the 1950s, was sentenced to 14 years in prison.

Fuchs, after nine and a half years, was released, being given time off for good behavior.

* In the late 16th century, the physician to margrave Georg Friedrich was the famous botanist, Leonhart Fuchs.

German physician Leonhart Fuchs ( 1501 – 1566 ) was one of " the three German fathers of botany ", along with Otto Brunfels ( 1489 – 1534 ) and Hieronymus Bock ( 1498 – 1554 ) ( also called Hieronymus Tragus ).

Within his lifetime, his idiom left an imprint on several composers within his personal circle, who strongly admired his music, such as Heinrich von Herzogenberg, Robert Fuchs, and Julius Röntgen, as well as on Gustav Jenner, who was Brahms's only formal composition pupil.

In January 1950, on evidence provided by the Venona intercepts, Soviet atomic spy Klaus Fuchs was arrested.

Klaus Emil Julius Fuchs ( 29 December 1911 – 28 January 1988 ) was a German-British theoretical physicist and atomic spy who in 1950 was convicted of supplying information from the American, British and Canadian atomic bomb research ( the Manhattan Project ) to the USSR during and shortly after World War II.

While at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Fuchs was responsible for many significant theoretical calculations relating to the first fission weapons and later, the early models of the hydrogen bomb, the first fusion weapon.

Klaus Fuchs was born in Rüsselsheim, Grand Duchy of Hesse, the third of four children to Lutheran pastor Emil Fuchs and his wife Else Wagner.

Fuchs ' father was later a professor of theology at Leipzig University.

Fuchs ' grandmother, mother, and his older sister eventually committed suicide ( his mother in c. 1932, his sister in 1939 to avoid capture by the Nazis ), while his younger sister was diagnosed as schizophrenic.

Fuchs was put into camps on the Isle of Man and later in Quebec, Canada, from June to December 1940.

Although Fuchs was " an asset " of GRU in Britain, his " control " was transferred to the NKGB when he moved to New York.

Fuchs was one of the many Los Alamos scientists present at the Trinity test.

By revealing that America was producing one hundred kilograms of uranium-235 and twenty kilograms of plutonium per month, Fuchs made it easy for Soviet scientists to calculate the number of atomic bombs the United States possessed.

Thus, because of Klaus Fuchs, leaders of the Soviet Union knew the United States was not prepared for a nuclear war at the end of the 1940s, or even in the early 1950s.

Fuchs attended a conference of the Combined Policy Committee ( CPC ) in 1947, a committee created to facilitate exchange of atomic secrets between the highest levels of government of the U. S., Great Britain and Canada ; Donald Maclean, as British co-secretary of CPC, was also in attendance.

In 1946 when Fuchs returned to England as the first Head of the Theoretical Physics Division at the Harwell Atomic Energy Research Establishment, he was confronted by intelligence officers as a result of the cracking of Soviet ciphers known as the VENONA project.

Under interrogation by MI5 officer William Skardon at an informal meeting in December 1949, Fuchs initially denied being a spy and was not detained.

Later, in January 1950, Fuchs arranged another interview with Skardon and voluntarily confessed that he was a spy.

Hans Bethe once said that Klaus Fuchs was the only physicist he knew who truly changed history.

Most scholars have agreed with the assessment made by Hans Bethe in 1952, which concluded that by the time Fuchs left the thermonuclear program — the summer of 1946 — there was too little known about the mechanism of the hydrogen bomb for his information to be of any necessary use to the Soviet Union ( the successful Teller-Ulam design was not discovered until 1951 ).

He was intimately involved with the investigation of the Cambridge Five and the interrogation of Klaus Fuchs.

Under interrogation, Gold admitted that he had been involved in espionage since 1934 and had helped Fuchs pass information about the Manhattan Project to the Soviet Union by way of Soviet General Consul Anatoli Yakovlev.

The day passed eventfully enough, with a constant stream of visitors, some stopping only to say hello, others getting into serious conversations, such as one Andre Fuchs, a free-lance journalist from Strasbourg who wrote an article for the Nouvelle Alsatian in highly sympathetic terms.

Britain began designing the ship in 1956 but got nowhere until the American government decided to end a ban on sharing military secrets with Britain that had been imposed after Fuchs blabbed.

Prior for it seems quite probable that the shape of the flowers suggested the idea of a glove, and that associated with the name of the botanist Fuchs, who first gave it a botanical name, may have been easily corrupted into foxglove.

He moved to Vienna with his family in 1888, and studied at the Vienna Conservatory ( composition with Robert Fuchs, cello with Ferdinand Hellmesberger and theory ( the counterpoint class ) with Anton Bruckner ), graduating " with excellence " in 1896.

His arrest led to others: Harry Gold, a courier with whom Fuchs had worked, David Greenglass, and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

A London message from the GRU, the Red Army's foreign military intelligence directorate, dated 10 August 1941, refers to the GRU reestablishing contact with Fuchs.

In late 1943, Fuchs transferred along with Peierls to Columbia University, in New York City, to work on the Manhattan Project.

The information Fuchs gave Soviet intelligence in 1948 coincided with Donald Maclean's reports from Washington, D. C.

In Europe and all over the world since the 1960s, artists have combined Surrealism with what is believed to be a classical 16th century technique called mischtechnik, a kind of mix of egg tempera and oil paint rediscovered by Ernst Fuchs, a contemporary of Dalí, and now practiced and taught by many followers, including Robert Venosa and Chris Mars.

German physician Leonhart Fuchs ( 1501 – 1566 ) was one of the three founding fathers of botany, along with Otto Brunfels ( 1489 -

He continued with his study in Berlin ( 1899 / 1900 ) under the German mathematicians Frobenius and Fuchs and in Göttingen ( 1900 / 1901 ) under Klein and Hilbert.

Generalleutnant von Fuchs in a meeting with General von Kuhl on 20 January 1917 said,

Fuchs and co-authors showed that constructing a BSP tree solved both of these problems by providing a rapid method of sorting polygons with respect to a given viewpoint ( linear in the number of polygons in the scene ) and by subdividing overlapping polygons to avoid errors that can occur with the painter's algorithm.

Trailed in Belgrade in December 1946 with other SS and Gestapo officials and sentenced to death by hanging together with August Meissner, Wilhelm Fuchs, Josef Hahn, Ludwig Teichmann, Josef Eckert, Ernst Weimann, Richard Kaserer and Friedrich Polte.

The name Texel is Frisian, but because of historical sound-changes in Dutch, where all-x-sounds have been replaced with-s-sounds ( compare for instance English Fox, Frisian Fokse, German Fuchs with Dutch Vos ), the name is typically pronounced Tessel in Dutch.

In 1950 Fuchs was asked to develop the new London scientific bureau of the Survey, to plan research in the Antarctic and support research publication.

The Fuchs Medal was created in 1973 for " Outstanding devotion to the British Antarctic Survey's interests, beyond the call of normal duty, by men or women who are or were members of the Survey, or closely connected with its work.
