Lise Meitner (1878-1968)

In 1938, an Austrian physicist named Lise Meitner announced the splitting of the atom in the laboratory. That announcement confirmed once again the beginning of the Atomic Age. At that time Lise Meitner was one of the few people in the world who had a through understanding of atomic energy and the uses which could be made of this great power.

Lise Meitner, the daughter of a lawyer, was born in Vienna on the 17-th of November 1878. She grew interested in science when she read of the Curie’s discovery of radium. The example of Marie Curie showed that a woman was able to achieve something in science. Lise Meitner became the first woman in the history of the University of Vienna who earned her doctorate in physics.

In 1906 she went to the University of Berlin to continue her studies by attending the theoretical lectures of Max Planck and by doing experimental work. There she began her research in the new field of radioactivity. She focused her attention on the behaviour of beta radiation from radioactive elements, experimenting with the primitive methods then available for measuring and analyzing radioactivity. Meitner’s work in the 1920s and early 1930s emphasized the physical aspects of radioactivity.

In 1938 she left Germany for Sweden. Lise Meitner declined to work on the development of the atom bomb remaining in Sweden throughout the war. She was concerned with the properties of new radioactive isotopes, produced by the cyclotron. Her career was illustrious and productive (she published more than 135 scientific papers), but throughout her life she remained a shy person, with a deep interest in music. Her devotion to science had been total. She never married. In 1960 she moved to Cambridge, England, where she died in 1968.

В 1938 году она уехала из Германии в Швецию. Лиз Мейтнер отказалась работать над созданием атомной бомбы, оставаясь жить в Швеции на протяжении всей войны. Ее интересовали свойства новых радиоактивных изотопов, производимых циклотроном. Ее карьера была выдающейся и продуктивной (она опубликовала более 135 научных работ), но на протяжении всей своей жизни она оставалась застенчивым человеком, с глубоко интересуясь музыкой. Она была предана науке. Она никогда не была замужем. В 1960 году она переехала в Кембридж, Англия, где умерла в 1968 году.
