Otto Hahn's discovery primarily pertains to nuclear fission, the process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, along with the release of a significant amount of energy. In 1938, Hahn and his collaborator Fritz Strassmann conducted experiments that demonstrated this process using uranium, which was later explained by physicists Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch through the theoretical framework of the fission reaction. Their work laid the foundation for the development of nuclear energy and atomic bombs, fundamentally altering our understanding of atomic physics and energy production.

Nuclear fission (splitting the atom) was the fundamental discovery leading to the Manhattan Project. Although Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch are generally credited with the discovery, other physicists that played an important part were Ida Noddack, Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman.
