Who was Lise Meitner, the physicist who explained nuclear fission but was denied a Nobel Prize
Work on nuclear physics in the early twentieth century moved across borders, institutes and private letters. Lise Meitner was part of that movement for decades, first in Vienna, then in Berlin, later ...
A five-dimensional model accurately predicts the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, advancing our understanding of nuclear fission beyond traditional heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium ...
Seventy years ago, at the dawn of the nuclear age, atomic energy was viewed as the next great hope of modern civilization. Lewis Strauss, then the chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, infamously ...
