What's the name of the Jewish scientist lady who first discovered the atom bomb in the early 1900's?

Please answer whoever knows a lot about science!! I really need information about her and the name for a project!

What's the name of the Jewish scientist lady who first discovered the atom bomb in the early 1900's?
Perhaps you are looking for Lise Meitner? The atom bomb was invented in the 1940s, not discovered. Here are some excellent sources for your research:

Reply:Her name was Lise Meitner, born on November, 1878 and died on October 27, 1968. She was born in Vienna (Austrian) and her father, Philipp Meitner, was a freethinking liberal Jewish lawyer. She was a physicist who studied radioactivity and nuclear physics. The element with the atomic number 109 is named meitnerium in her honor.





In 1917, working with Otto Hahn, (her nephew) she isolated the most stable isotope of the element protactinium. She also investigated the disintegration products of radium, thorium, and actinium and the behavior of beta rays. She was then working in Germany.





Then in 1938 she became a refugee from Germany due to her jewish heritage.





That year, she became associated with the Univ. of Stockholm and with the Nobel Institute at Stockholm. She participated in experimental research in bombarding the uranium nucleus with slow-speed neutrons. She interpreted the results as a fission of the nucleus and calculated that vast amounts of energy were liberated.





Her conclusion contributed to the development of the atomic bomb.
Reply:Madame Curie is generally credited with discovering radioactivity. The atomic bomb was invented during WWII.
Reply:The atomic bomb wasn't discovered so much as invented. It was invented by a team of american scientists working on the Manhattan Project. There was no one scientist responsible, it was a group effort. I don't know if there was a woman, let alone a Jewish woman on the team.

since the atomic bomb wasn't discovered until the 1940's the short answer is "no one."





Assuming you ment a woman scientist who discovered radioactivity, that doesn't work either, since the discoverer of radioactivity was male.





However, there is a woman scientist who worked on radioactivity for a long time and who earned TWO Nobel prizes...





Maria Sk艂odowska-Curie (born Maria Sk艂odowska; known in France where she lived for most of her life as Marie Curie, she was frequently referred to as, Madame Curie; Born in Warsaw, November 7, 1867 Died July 4, 1934, Sancellemoz, France) was a Polish-French physicist and chemist.





Marie and her husband Pierre discovered Radium, and lots of other things about radioactivity and radioisotopes.





She was, however, not jewish, having been raised as a Roman Catholic, although she abandoned the church in her adulthood.
