Enrico fermi

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1938 was awarded to Enrico Fermi "for his demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons"

Enrico Fermi

Enrico Fermi (1901-1954) was an Italian (later naturalized American) physicist and the creator of the world's first nuclear reactor, the Chicago Pile-1. He has been called the "architect of the nuclear age" and the "architect of the atomic bomb". He was one of very few physicists to excel in both theoretical physics and experimental physics. Fermi was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on induced radioactivity by neutron bombardment and for the discovery of transuranium...

There's a unique, non dimensional atomic constant in physics known as “ alpha ” or the “ Fine Structure Constant ”. It is better known by it's reciprocal number which is essentially...

These famed scientists had a profound impact on the 20th century — their discoveries changed how we viewed both ourselves and our surroundings.

Fermi

A biography of Enrico Fermi, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century. His important discoveries about the atom led to the nuclear bomb.

Important Manhattan Project research was conducted at Columbia University’s Schermerhorn Hall (pictured) and Pupin Hall. World-class physicists, including Nobel Prize winners Isidor I. Rabi and Enrico Fermi, joined Columbia’s research team to investigate the relatively new science of atomic particles. Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard first realized the possibility of a…
