Meitner - Nuclear Fission

The source is an excerpt from a book about the life of Lise Meitner, an Austrian physicist who made a crucial contribution to the discovery of nuclear fission. The text details Meitner's early life, her studies, and her long and productive collaboration with Otto Hahn, focusing on their joint discovery of protactinium. It also examines Meitner's work on the study of beta radiation and how her insights were vital in understanding the process of nuclear fission, which she and her nephew Otto Frisch explained and theorized. The source also explores the personal and political challenges that Meitner faced during her career, including prejudice against women in academia and her forced exile from Germany due to Nazi persecution.
