Quote of the day by German chemist Otto Hahn : Few scientific discoveries have changed the world as dramatically as nuclear fission. It unlocked a new understanding of matter, revolutionized energy production, and reshaped global politics forever. Yet for the man most closely associated with that breakthrough, the moment the world witnessed its destructive power brought not pride, but sorrow.
German chemist Otto Hahn is often remembered as the father of nuclear chemistry and the scientist whose work helped pave the way for the atomic age. But one of the most revealing moments of his life came not in a laboratory, but in his reaction to the devastating events that followed World War II.
