They split the uranium atom.
There are many scientists who made amazing contributions to the world, but these ones are famous for things we use on a daily basis: Newton (best known for bringing forward the law of gravity), Pasteur (known for the pasteurization process as well as for participating in the effort of finding cures for rabies and anthrax), Galileo (he created the first modern telescope), Marie Curie (invented the X Ray), Einstein (famous for many things, including the theory of relativity), Darwin (developed a theory according to which humans' ancestors were primates), Otto Hahn (famous for discovering nuclear isomerism and various radio-active elements), Nikola Tesla (best known for working on AC current but for many other inventions too), James Clerk Maxwell (advanced theories on electro-magnetism) and Aristotle (who made great discoveries in physics, geometry, zoology, botany, meteorology and so on).

Otto Hahn, Fritz Strassmann and Lise Meitner in December 1938.
Otto Hahn is famous for his discovery of nuclear fission which he discovered with scientist Fritz Strassmann in 1938. Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discovery.
Discovering of uranium fission: Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann: 17 December 1938.
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.
Nuclear fission was discovered at 17 December 1938 by Otto Hahn and Fritz Stassmann.
The first fission of uranium is from 1939: Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner, Fritz Strassmann.
Óscar Hahn was born in 1938.
Fritz Felix Hahn has written: 'On the dictyonema-fauna of Navy island, New Brunswick' -- subject(s): Paleontology
Anna Marie Hahn died on December 7, 1938 at the age of 32.
The fission of uranium with neutrons was discovered at 17.12.1938 by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann.The spontaneous natural fission of uranium was discovered by Flerov and Pietrzak in 1940.
Anna Marie Hahn died on December 7, 1938 at the age of 32.
