Otto Hahn
Otto Hahn was a German chemist and a pioneer in nuclear chemistry, best known for his discovery of nuclear fission. Alongside his colleague Fritz Strassman, Hahn's experiments led to the identification of fission products when uranium was bombarded with neutrons, a discovery that laid the groundwork for nuclear power and atomic bombs. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1944 for his contributions to the field.
