History & Etymology
First prepared in 1982 by Gottfried Münzenberg, Peter Armbruster, Fritz Peter Heßberger, Sigurd Hofmann, Klaus Poppensieker, Willibrord Reisdorf, K. Schneider, Karl-Heinz Schmidt, Christoph-Clemens Sahm, and Detlef Vermeulen at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Germany. The systematic IUPAC name was Unnilenium (Une). The name and symbol Meitnerium (Mt) was suggested by the discovers, and accepted by the nomenclature committee of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), and ratified by the IUPAC Council meeting in Geneva during August 1997 (See "Naming the transfermium elements").
Lise Meitner
Lise Meitner (Vienna 7 or 17 November 1878 – Cambridge, England, 27 October 1968), Austrian-born, later Swedish physicist who worked on radioactivity and nuclear physics. She was the first to realize that Otto Hahn had inadvertently achieved the fission of uranium. Together with Hahn she discovered the element Protactinium and studied the effects of neutron bombardment on uranium.
An achievement for which her colleague Otto Hahn was awarded the Nobel Prize. Meitner is often mentioned as one of the most glaring examples of women's scientific achievement overlooked by the Nobel committee. A 1997 Physics Today study concluded that Meitner's omission was "a rare instance in which personal negative opinions apparently led to the exclusion of a deserving scientist" from the Nobel.Driven from Nazi Germany because of het Jewish origin, she later worked in Sweden. She refused to work on the atomic bomb (note).
