Hahn, Strassman
Conducted experiments verifying that heavy elements capture neutrons and form unstable products which undergo fission. This process ejects more neutrons continuing the fission chain reaction.
1941 - 51<Tab/>Glenn Seaborg
Synthesized 6 transuranium elements and suggested a change in the layout of the periodic table.
