…with Otto Gohring, he discovered uranium X2, which is now called protactinium-234m. In 1917 he joined the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Munich, where he rose from associate professor to director. From 1936 to 1957, when he retired, Fajans was a professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He became…

protactiniumThey named it brevium, afterward uranium X2, because it was a short-lived member of the uranium radioactive decay series. The long-lived isotope protactinium-231 (originally called protoactinium for “before actinium” and later shortened to protactinium) was discovered (1917) independently by German chemist Otto Hahn and Austrian physicist Lise Meitner
