Ida Noddack
Ida Noddack was a pioneering German chemist known for her contributions to the discovery of nuclear fission. In 1934, she proposed the idea that the atomic nucleus could split into two, a concept that would later be confirmed by other scientists, including Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann. Despite her significant contributions to nuclear chemistry, Noddack's work has often been overshadowed by her male counterparts in a male-dominated field. Her insights into nuclear reactions and her role in early discussions about fission are important parts of the history of nuclear science.
