Ida Eva Noddack (Tacke) was one of the first women in Germany to study chemistry. She attained a doctaorate in 1919 at the Tachnical University of Berlin"On higher aliphatic fatty acid anhydrides" and worked afterwards in the field being the first woman in the industry in Germany. Although the life of German chemist Ida Eva Tacke spans some 82 years, from 1896-1987, her most important scientific work took place in the years between the two world wars.
In 1925, the young chemist announced her team's discovery of the last two "missing" elements in Mendeleev's periodic table. Her discovery of Rhenium, element 75, has never been in dispute, but the element 43 is another matter. Ten years later in 1935, Tacke published another importat paper, in which she proposed that atoms were split into large fragments in Enrico Fermi's experiments involving so-called transuranic elemants.
Ida Noddack was nominated three times for Nobel Prize in Chemistry, once by Walter Nernst and K.L.Wagner for 1933: both Noddacks were nominated by W.J.Muller for 1935 and then by A.Skrabal for 1937. |
