He studied chemis-try, mathematics, and physics in Budapest, Berlin and Freiburg i. Br. where he also ob-tained his doctorate.

After a short period at the University of Budapest he joined Niels Bohr inCopenhage n until 1926; in 1922 he discovered hafnium and in the following year did hisfirst work on radioactive indicators in biology. From 1926 to 1934 he was Director of the In-stitute of Physical Chemistry at the University of Freiburg i. Br. In 1934 he left Germany forpolitical reasons and returned to Niels Bohr in Copenhagen. In 1935 he and Chiewitzcarried out the$ first work with artificial radionuclides (32P). They were supported by O. H.Lawrence (Berkeley) and A. Krogh. In 1943 he was awarded the Nobel Prize.
