Fritz Straßmann
* 1902 in Boppard
+ 1980 in Mainz
Friedrich Wilhelm "Fritz" Strassmann (German: Straßmann) was a
German chemist who,
with Otto Hahn in early 1939, identified barium in the
residue after bombarding uranium with neutrons,
results which, when confirmed, demonstrated the previously unknown
phenomenon of nuclear fission.
