He worked for Sir WIlliam Ramsay in Autumn 1904 until the following summer, while he was working he found a radioactive substance called radiothorium. On his return back to Europe he moved to the chemical institute in Berlin, he also discovered mesothorium there.  Towards the end of 1907 Dr. Lise Meitner  came to Berlin to collaborate with Otto that lasted more than 30 years. He joined the world war in 1914-1918, but resumed work after that. His big discovery came in 1938 when he was working with Dr. Strassmann fission of uranium and thorium in medium heavy atomic nuclei.
