Otto Hahn
Otto Hahn is a German chemist and a pioneer in the fields of radioactivity and radiochemistry. Hahn is considered to be the father of nuclear chemistry. Hahn and Lise Meitner discovered radioisotopes of radium, thorium, protactinium and uranium. He also discovered radioactive shock and nuclear isomers, and pioneered rubidium-strontium dating. In 1938, Hahn, Lise Meitner and Fritz Strassmann discovered nuclear fission, for which Hahn received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1944. Nuclear fission is the basis of nuclear reactors and weapons. Nuclear. A graduate of the University of Marburg, Hahn attended Sir William Ramsay at University College London and at McGill University in Montreal under Ernest Rutherford, where he discovered several new radioisotopes. He returned to Germany in 1906 and Emil Fischer provided him with a former carpentry workshop in the basement of the Institute of Chemistry at the University of Berlin for use as a laboratory.
