Lise Meitner, Austrian-born physicist who, with her nephew Otto Frisch, elucidated the physical characteristics of nuclear fission. She and Otto Hahn were among the first to isolate the isotope protactinium-231, and with Hahn and Fritz Strassmann she investigated the products of neutron bombardment of uranium.
Mar 29, 2018 · Lise Meitner was a pioneering physicist who studied radioactivity and nuclear physics. She was part of a team that discovered nuclear fission — a term she coined — but she was overlooked...
Lise Meitner (1878-1968) was an Austrian physicist. Meitner was part of the team that discovered and explained nuclear fission and foresaw its explosive potential. She refused to work on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, declaring, “I will have nothing to do with a bomb!”.
Oct 2, 2023 · Lise Meitner developed the theory of nuclear fission, the process that enabled the atomic bomb. But her identity — Jewish and a woman — barred her from sharing credit for the discovery, newly...
Born in Vienna in 1878, Lise Meitner enrolled at the University of Vienna in 1901 and became only the second woman to earn a PhD in Physics from there in 1905. After receiving her PhD, Meitner moved to Berlin, Germany to work with physicist Max Planck and chemist Otto Hahn.
Sep 7, 2023 · Lise Meitner, an Austrian-born Jewish physicist, never received the Nobel Prize she deserved for her pioneering work on nuclear fission. By Katie Hafner, Ashraya Gupta & The Lost Women of...
Mar 9, 1996 · Meitner, rare as a positron in a sea of electrons, was a female physicist in 1907 Berlin, when women’s access to higher education was barred. She was a Jew; she was also a timid...
Feb 7, 2019 · Lise Meitner — who broke ground in the study of nuclear physics — remains obscure and largely forgotten. She was excluded from the victory celebration of her discovery because she was a Jewish woman.
Jan 1, 1998 · One of the discoverers of fission in 1938, Meitner was at the time overlooked by the Nobel judges. Racial persecution, fear and opportunism combined to obscure her contributions.
