The Breaking Point

The Chemist Who Caught Lightning


Listen Later

In 1938, Lise Meitner sat on a snow-covered log in Sweden and scribbled calculations that would unlock the secret of nuclear fission—then watched as history wrote her male colleagues into the Nobel Prize instead. Her story reveals how one woman's brilliance cracked open the atomic age, and why the most powerful discovery of the 20th century almost went unrecognized. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
