Otto Robert Frisch, a British physicist originally from Austria, made important contributions to nuclear physics. He worked with prominent scientists like Otto Stern, Immanuel Estermann, and Lise Meitner to measure the magnetic moment of the proton and further the theoretical knowledge of nuclear fission, including the coining of the term. In collaboration with Rudolf Peierls, Frisch developed the initial theoretical model for the detonation of an atomic bomb in 1940. His research significantly influenced the field of nuclear physics and its practical applications.
