The Woman Who Discovered Nuclear Fission
The nucleus holds secrets we must unravel.
In a world that often ignored women in science, I followed the data, from Vienna to Berlin and beyond. My hands have held the instruments that revealed the heart of the atom, and my mind dared to understand what others could not. The discovery of nuclear fission changed everything, and though recognition came late, the truth remains in the science itself.
What I'm Into: radioactive decay, Otto Hahn's letters, Vienna at dawn, the weight of a theorem, nuclear equations on chalkboard
