Friedrich Wilhelm "Fritz" Strassmann (German:Straßmann; 22 February 1902 – 22 April 1980) was a Germanchemist who, with Otto Hahn in 1938, identified barium in the residue after bombarding uranium with neutrons, results which, when confirmed, demonstrated the previously unknown phenomenon of nuclear fission.
Life and career
Born in Boppard, he began his chemistry studies in 1920 at the Technical University of Hannover and earned his Ph.D. in 1929. He did his Ph.D. work on the solubility of iodine gaseous carbonic acid.
Strassmann started an academic career because the employment situation in the chemical industry was much worse than at the universities at that time.
In 1933 he resigned from the Society of German Chemists when it became part of a Nazi-controlled public corporation. He was blacklisted. Hahn and Meitner found an assistantship for him at half pay. Strassmann considered himself fortunate, for "despite my affinity for chemistry, I value my personal freedom so highly that to preserve it I would break stones for a living." During the war he and his wife Maria Heckter Strassmann concealed a Jewish friend in their apartment for months, putting themselves and their three-year-old son at risk.
Nuclear fission was discovered in December 1938 by chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann and physicists Lise Meitner and Otto Robert Frisch. Fission is a nuclear reaction or radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller, lighter nuclei. The fission process often produces gamma rays and releases a very large amount of energy, even by the energetic standards of radioactive decay. Scientists already knew about alpha decay and beta decay, but fission assumed great importance because the discovery that a nuclear chain reaction was possible led to the development of nuclear power and nuclear weapons.

How Was Nuclear Energy Discovered?
Nuclear power results from radiation, which was discovered around 1900. It took several decades after that for scientists to understand how to harness its energy for power and for weapons.

The Physics of Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are the most powerful explosive forces that have been unlocked by mankind. Fission and fusion have been implemented for both good and bad purposes, such as nuclear reactors that provide power to cities or the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. Watch this documentary to find out the physics of nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.
