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.

Meitner was the first woman physics professor in Germany. She was working on nuclear physics with her colleague Otto Hahn when she was forced to flee Nazi Germany in 1938. While in Stockholm she received news from Hahn that their experiment had produced an unexpected element. Meitner realised it meant fission had taken place while Hahn was still trying to figure out what their data meant. He went on to win a Nobel prize for the discovery, while Meitner was left out.

Important Manhattan Project research was conducted at Columbia University’s Schermerhorn Hall (pictured) and Pupin Hall. World-class physicists, including Nobel Prize winners Isidor I. Rabi and Enrico Fermi, joined Columbia’s research team to investigate the relatively new science of atomic particles. Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard first realized the possibility of a…
