E = mc² and autoclave: what they have in common

1. Step 1. E = mc² — is used in — Nuclear fission. The energy is the mass defect.
2. Step 2. Nuclear fission — evolved from — Radioactivity. Studying radioactive decay led to the discovery of fission.
3. Step 3. Radioactivity — is used in — Cloud chamber. Particle tracks.
4. Step 4. Cloud chamber — uses — Latent heat. Supersaturated vapour.
5. Step 5. Latent heat — is used in — Boiler. Evaporation needs latent heat.
6. Step 6. Boiler — is part of — Autoclave. A steam generator.
