In 1944, Hahn won a Nobel prize for the discovery. It led to the atomic bomb , nuclear power, and a Nobel Prize in 1944 for German chemist Otto Hahn. ullstein bild Dtl./Getty ImagesMeitner was well respected by other physicists — Einstein called her "our Marie Curie" — comparing her to the trail-blazing, two-time Nobel Prize winner.

Hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs are both nuclear weapons that can cause mass destruction. But just seven years later an even more destructive nuclear bomb was built — the hydrogen bomb. Whereas hydrogen bombs get their power from a combination of fission and its opposite — nuclear fusion — the binding of atoms. Hydrogen vs. atomic bombs: damage and destructionWhile atomic bomb blasts are measured in kilotons — 1 kt is equivalent to the explosive force of 1,000 tons of TNT — hydrogen bombs are often measured in megatons. AdvertisementAdvertisementBoth atomic and hydrogen bombs are nuclear weapons and therefore create long-lasting, dangerous nuclear fallout.
