Abstract
The article focuses on the history of the development of the theory of nuclear fission. It chronicles the creation of the theory at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry in Berlin, Germany in December 1938 through the collaboration of chemists Otto Hahn, Fritz Strassmann, and physicist Lisa Meitner. It also mentions the significant evolution of the theory in which its founders claim that it belonged to the field of chemistry.
