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...
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...
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!”.
Feb 7, 2019 · It was a massive leap forward in nuclear physics, but today Lise Meitner remains obscure and largely forgotten. She was excluded from the victory celebration because she was a Jewish woman.
