2 days ago · At the turn of the 20th century, Lise Meitner dreamed of becoming a scientist. In her time, girls were not supposed to want careers, much less ones in science. But Lise was smart — and determined. She earned a PhD in physics, then became the first woman physics professor at the University of Berlin.
3 days ago · Hahn and Lise Meitner discovered radioactive isotopes of radium, thorium, protactinium and uranium. He also discovered the phenomena of atomic recoil and nuclear isomerism, and pioneered rubidium–strontium dating.
3 days ago · Lise Meitner, a pioneering physicist, forever changed our understanding of nuclear physics through her groundbreaking work. Her collaboration with Otto Hahn ...
5 days ago · The issue was not resolved until 1938, when the German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann experimentally, and the Austrian physicists Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch theoretically, cleared the confusion by revealing that the uranium had split and the several radioactivities detected were from fission fragments.

5 days ago · Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute; AEI) and Leibniz University Hannover have set up, tested, and commissioned a laser source in a laboratory at the ETpathfinder site in Maastricht.
1 day ago · Neptunium is a hard, silvery, ductile, radioactive actinide metal. In the periodic table, it is located to the right of the actinide uranium, to the left of the actinide plutonium and below the lanthanide promethium. [7] Neptunium is a hard metal, having a bulk modulus of 118 GPa, comparable to that of manganese. [8]
3 days ago · Assembling at the Rome conference was practically a roll call of the world’s most eminent physicists, not merely Fermi, Bohr, and Marconi, but also Marie Curie, Werner Heisenberg, Arnold Sommerfeld, Lise Meitner, Peter Debye, and even two American Nobel physics laureates, Robert Millikan and Arthur Compton. The only notable physicist conspicuous for his absence was the world’s most famous example, Albert Einstein, who declined to attend, apparently out of protest to the fascist ...
