El 28 de julio de 1968, fallecía el químico alemán Otto Hahn (Fráncfort del Meno, Reino de Prusia, 8 de marzo de 1879 - Gotinga, Alemania Occidental, 28 de julio de 1968). Se le otorgó el Premio Nobel de Química en 1944 por el descubrimiento de la fisión nuclear del uranio y del torio (1938). Estudió…

Nucelar, la palabra es nucelar...

Y las mamás son Lise Meitner e Ida Noddack.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lise_Meitner
Meitner was part of the Hahn-Meitner-Strassmann-team that worked on "transuranium-elements" from 1935 onward, which led to the radiochemical discovery of the nuclear fission of uranium and thorium in December 1938, an achievement for which her colleague Otto Hahn was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1944.[5] Meitner is often mentioned as one of the most glaring examples of women's scientific achievement overlooked by the Nobel committee.[6][7][8]

A 1997 Physics Today study concluded that Meitner's omission was "a rare instance in which personal negative opinions apparently led to the exclusion of a deserving scientist" from the Nobel.[9] Element 109, meitnerium, is named in her honour.

Noddack correctly criticized Enrico Fermi's chemical proofs in his 1934 neutron bombardment experiments, from which he postulated that transuranic elements might have been produced, and which was widely accepted for a few years. Her paper, "On Element 93" suggested a number of possibilities, centering around Fermi's failure to chemically eliminate all lighter than uranium elements in his proofs, rather than only down to lead. The paper is considered historically significant today not simply because she correctly pointed out the flaw in Fermi's chemical proof but because she suggested the possibility that "it is conceivable that the nucleus breaks up into several large fragments, which would of course be isotopes of known elements but would not be neighbors of the irradiated element." In so doing she presaged what would become known a few years later as nuclear fission.

Gracias por el aporte!!! Muy bueno. Si te fijas en el artículo cito explícitamente a Meitner e incluyo una foto suya.
