At a young age, she grew up wanting to study science. However, since women were not allowed to attend university, she became a teacher. She was finally allowed to pursue her higher education at the University of Vienna in Austria, becoming the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rte.ie\/brainstorm\/2021\/1108\/1258540-lise-meitner\/\">second woman to earn a PhD in physics<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Her most significant contribution came in the late 1930s when she collaborated with Otto Hahn on groundbreaking research in nuclear chemistry. Together, they made a discovery that forever changed our understanding of the atomic nucleus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, scientists were exploring the properties of atomic nuclei, which are the tiny, dense centers of atoms. Meitner and Hahn were conducting experiments on uranium, a heavy element, by bombarding it with neutrons. What they observed was nothing short of revolutionary. The uranium nuclei were splitting into smaller fragments when hit by the neutrons. This process was named &#8220;nuclear fission.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"809\" height=\"526\" data-attachment-id=\"13478\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/2023\/11\/09\/nobel-prize-nominee-lise-meitner\/fission-product-05\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?fit=3026%2C1968&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3026,1968\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"fission-product-05\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?fit=809%2C526&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?resize=809%2C526&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"showcasing the work from Lise Meitner on nuclear fission\" class=\"wp-image-13478\" style=\"width:626px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?resize=1024%2C666&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?resize=300%2C195&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?resize=768%2C499&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?resize=1536%2C999&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?resize=2048%2C1332&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?resize=1200%2C780&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?resize=810%2C527&amp;ssl=1 810w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?resize=1140%2C741&amp;ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?resize=461%2C300&amp;ssl=1 461w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?w=1618&amp;ssl=1 1618w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fission-product-05.png?w=2427&amp;ssl=1 2427w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The discovery of nuclear fission was a monumental breakthrough in the world of science. It revealed that the nucleus of an atom, previously thought to be indivisible, could be split into two smaller nuclei. This released a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This finding laid the foundation for the development of nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. It had profound implications for both peaceful and destructive applications of atomic energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-the-nobel-prize-nomination\">The Nobel Prize Nomination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Despite her pivotal role in the discovery, Meitner did not receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. It was awarded to Otto Hahn alone in 1944 for nuclear fission. Many in the scientific community believed that Lise Meitner&#8217;s omission from the Nobel Prize was a missed opportunity to recognize her crucial contributions to one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00193711-614.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"614\" height=\"590\" data-attachment-id=\"13494\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/2023\/11\/09\/nobel-prize-nominee-lise-meitner\/00193711-614\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00193711-614.jpg?fit=614%2C590&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"614,590\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"00193711-614\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00193711-614.jpg?fit=614%2C590&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00193711-614.jpg?resize=614%2C590&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lise Meitner at work in 1949\" class=\"wp-image-13494\" style=\"width:480px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00193711-614.jpg?w=614&amp;ssl=1 614w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00193711-614.jpg?resize=300%2C288&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00193711-614.jpg?resize=312%2C300&amp;ssl=1 312w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lise Meitner at work in 1949.

The principles and insights she contributed have since been fundamental to understanding not only fission but also nuclear fusion, nuclear energy, and the behavior of matter at the atomic level.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"809\" height=\"478\" data-attachment-id=\"13476\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/2023\/11\/09\/nobel-prize-nominee-lise-meitner\/lise-04\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?fit=3450%2C2038&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3450,2038\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"lise-04\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?fit=809%2C478&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?resize=809%2C478&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lise Meitner changing the future of atomic science \" class=\"wp-image-13476\" style=\"width:596px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?resize=1024%2C605&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?resize=300%2C177&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?resize=768%2C454&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?resize=1536%2C907&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?resize=2048%2C1210&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?resize=1200%2C709&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?resize=810%2C478&amp;ssl=1 810w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?resize=1140%2C673&amp;ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?resize=508%2C300&amp;ssl=1 508w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?w=1618&amp;ssl=1 1618w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/lise-04.png?w=2427&amp;ssl=1 2427w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-the-atomic-age\">The Atomic Age:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The discovery of nuclear fission had a profound impact on the course of history. It led to the development of nuclear weapons during World War II and the subsequent emergence of the nuclear age. Meitner&#8217;s work was pivotal in providing the scientific basis for harnessing nuclear energy, which led to the creation of nuclear reactors and the peaceful applications of atomic energy, such as electricity generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-advancements-in-energy\">Advancements in Energy:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Nuclear energy, a field largely shaped by the discovery of nuclear fission, has played a critical role in global energy production. Nuclear power plants continue to provide a substantial portion of the world&#8217;s electricity. It&#8217;s focus is on cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. Meitner&#8217;s work, therefore, has contributed to the ongoing exploration of clean energy alternatives and efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"809\" height=\"481\" data-attachment-id=\"13480\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/2023\/11\/09\/nobel-prize-nominee-lise-meitner\/nuclear-power-plant-01\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?fit=1984%2C1180&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1984,1180\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"nuclear-power-plant-01\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?fit=809%2C481&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?resize=809%2C481&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"nuclear power plant\" class=\"wp-image-13480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?resize=1024%2C609&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?resize=300%2C178&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?resize=768%2C457&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?resize=1536%2C914&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?resize=1200%2C714&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?resize=810%2C482&amp;ssl=1 810w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?resize=1140%2C678&amp;ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?resize=504%2C300&amp;ssl=1 504w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?w=1984&amp;ssl=1 1984w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nuclear-power-plant-01.png?w=1618&amp;ssl=1 1618w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-influence-on-scientific-community\">Influence on Scientific Community:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Lise Meitner&#8217;s journey as a pioneering woman in the sciences serves as an inspiration for aspiring scientists, particularly women in STEM fields.
