Lise Meitner memorial in front of the Lise Meitner dormitory in Kaiserslautern. After her death in 1968, Meitner received many naming honours. In 1997, element 109 was named meitnerium. She is the first and so far the only non-mythological woman thus exclusively honoured (since curium was named after both Marie and Pierre Curie).
Lise Meitner was left off the publication that eventually led to a Nobel Prize for her colleague. Nuclear fission – the physical process by which very large atoms like uranium split into pairs ...
The Lise Meitner Lectures (LML) [1] are a series of public lectures in honour of Lise Meitner. The lectures are organized jointly by the German Physical Society and the Austrian Physical Society, with the intention to showcase outstanding female scientists in physics or related fields. The annual lecture series was launched in 2008, when Lise ...
Otto Robert Frisch OBE FRS [1] (1 October 1904 – 22 September 1979) was an Austrian-born British physicist who worked on nuclear physics. With Otto Stern and Immanuel Estermann he first measured the magnetic moment of the proton. With Lise Meitner he advanced the first theoretical explanation of nuclear fission (coining the term) and first ...

This article is about Lise Meitner, the Austrian physicist who was the co-discover of the element protactinium and nuclear fission. She spent much of her scientific career in Berlin, Germany, where she was a physics professor and a department head at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute. She fled to Sweden after Austria was absorbed into Germany in 1938.
Summary: During Spring 1946, physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968), of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, was a Visiting Professor of Physics at Catholic University, Washington, D.C., and met with finalists in the Science Talent Search competition.

Lise Meitner, Niels Bohr and Sir James Chadwick all refused to allow their names to be used in The Beginning or the End, which Marx regarded as unfortunate, as it made the film's Manhattan Project scenes look like an all-American affair. [5] The loss of Bohr caused important sequences to be deleted.
