Abstract. The role that Otto Hahn (1879–1968) played in the discovery of nuclear fission and whether Lise Meitner (1878–1968) should have shared the Nobel Prize for that discovery have been subjects of earlier studies, but there is more to the story. I examine what Hahn and the scientists in his Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry in ...
31. Mai 2023 · Meitner, Lise (1878-1968) Austrian-born Swedish physicist who was one of the first scientists to study radioactive decay and the radiations emitted during this process. Her most famous work was done in 1938, in collaboration with her nephew Otto Frisch, describing for the first time the splitting or fission of the uranium nucleus under neutron ...
1. Okt. 2022 · In his letter to Lise Meitner, Otto Hahn called this new reaction a “bursting” of the uranium nucleus. Otto Frisch and Lise Meitner then created the hypothesis that the uranium nucleus had split in two. They explained the process, estimated the energy released, and Frisch coined the term fission to describe it. Due to the political tensions ...
25. Aug. 2023 · Meitner would use physics to explain the nuclear processes, and Hahn would conduct chemical analyses. In late 1938, Hahn and Strassmann discovered that neutron-bombarded uranium-235 samples seemed to contain barium — a much lighter element than expected, which the pair could not explain. Meitner was headed toward the zenith of her career. But ...
Born: Vienna, Austria, November 7, 1878 Died: Cambridge, England, October 27, 1968 A Battle for Ultimate Truth. In 1945, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Otto Hahn for the discovery of nuclear fission, overlooking the physicist Lise Meitner, who collaborated with him in the discovery and gave the first theoretical explanation of the fission process.
Synopsis. The Path to Nuclear Fission is about a brilliant Jewish woman, Lise Meitner. In 1907, Meitner came to Berlin as a shy physics student from Vienna, and met the worldly Otto Hahn. They became close friends and colleagues, and they would make scientific history when they discovered nuclear fission in 1938.
Lise Meitner’s influential work concerning radioactivity in the early 20th century made her a target of the Nazis. She fled to Sweden in 1938, and it was there that she discovered the power of the fission reaction. Even though Meitner never worked on nuclear weapons, her 1939 research was essential in the research of nuclear power.
