Otto Robert Frisch was a physicist whose groundbreaking work significantly advanced the understanding of nuclear physics. He contributed to the theoretical mechanism for the atomic bomb and was instrumental in deciphering the physics behind nuclear fission. His research, shaped by challenging political circumstances, took him through leading scientific institutions across Europe and into America. Frisch's contributions to nuclear science and their profound impact continue to resonate.
