In 1945, Hahn was nominated for the 1944 Nobel Prize in chemistry, one year late, for the discovery of nuclear fission. Meitner and Frisch were also nominated for the physics prize that year.

One of Iran’s leading human-rights defenders warns that authorities there will turn on their own people to consolidate power ...

In 1944, Hahn won a Nobel prize for the discovery. Meitner was nominated but didn't win. The discovery of nuclear fission was one of the greatest scientific milestones of the 20th century.

In 1944 it was announced that the Nobel Prize for Chemistry would be awarded to Hahn for the discovery of nuclear fission and no-one else, notably excluding Meitner, Strassman and Frisch. Prominent ...

Nuclear power, both peaceful and military, is based on atomic fission, unleashing titanic amounts of energy via splitting the nucleus of certain atoms, mainly enriched Uranium U235. In 1944, Otto Hahn ...

In 2024, the Norwegian Nobel Institute registered 286 candidates for that year's Nobel Peace Prize — 197 individuals and 89 organizations. The year 2016 saw the highest number of nominations ...

Hahn alone was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this work in 1944. Hahn had difficulty explaining his findings and proposed no credible mechanism as to how uranium splits to produce barium.

PROF. OTTO HAHN, to whom the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for 1944 has been awarded, in recognition of his discovery (with F. Strassmann) of the neutron-induced fission of uranium and thorium (in its ...

¶ The 1944 prize for chemistry went to pioneer atom-splitter Professor Otto Hahn, 66, lately of Berlin. Hahn came to the U.S. in 1933 to lecture for one year at Cornell.

It was a massive leap forward in nuclear physics, but today Lise Meitner remains obscure and largely forgotten. She was excluded from the victory celebration because she was a Jewish woman.

Lise Meitner, the Austrian-born physicist, was a longtime collaborator of Otto Hahn, who won the Nobel Prize in 1944. She did not share in the award with him.
