Lise Meitner - Woman of Science

In 1918, Dr. Lise Meitner, together with Otto Hahn, discovered the radioactive element protactinium (element 91). In December 1938, Lise provided the physical explanation of results obtained by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in their chemical experiments. Her contributions helped lead to the discovery of nuclear fission and to our understanding of the fundamental structures of nature. This traveling exhibit is a brief history of Lise Meitner’s life and work.

"Atoms for Peace" contains portions of several lithographic public-relations-oriented fine art print programs created for the General Dynamics Corp. in the 1950's and 1960's. The prints depict Nitsche's interpretations of nuclear energy uses, modern technologies for the era, and feature posters created for promotion of nuclear energy in foreign countries, which are imprinted in the languages of those regions.
