Enrico Fermi: Nobel Prize
built 248 days ago
Enrico Fermi is regarded as father of nuclear physics. In the history of modern physics there is none who matched the versatility of Fermi. His contributions in pure theoretical physics and concrete experimental work were equally great. He could design and build, with his own hands, astonishingly useful experimental tools. He developed the mathematical statistics required to describe a large class of sub-atomic particles. He discovered neutron-induced radioactivity.In 1938, Fermi was awarded Nobel Prize in physics “for his identification of new radioactive elements produced by neutron bombardment and for his discovery of nuclear reaction effected by slow neutrons.” In 1942 Fermi constructed the first nuclear reactor.

Enrico Fermi was born in Rome, Italy. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1938 for the theory of beta-ray disintegration. He led the Manhattan Project's effort to create the first man-made and self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction.

In 1938, at the age of 37, Enrico Fermi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. That same year he emigrated from Italy to the United States and, in the course of his experiments, discovered nuclear fission a process which forms the basis of nuclear power and atomic bombs.
