Enrico Fermi
Born: 29 Sept. 1901 in Rome, Italy
Died: Nov. 1954 in Chicago
Enrico Fermi is an Italian-born U.S. physicist who was one of the chief architects of the nuclear age. He developed the mathematical statistics required to clarify a large class of subatomic phenomena, discovered neutron-induced radioactivity, and directed the first controlled nuclear chain reaction. He was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize for Physics, and the Enrico Fermi Award of the U.S. Department of Energy is given in his honour. (see also Index subatomic particle nuclear reaction
Education and early career
Fermi was the youngest of the three children of Alberto Fermi, a railroad employee, and Ida de Gattis. Enrico, an energetic and imaginative student prodigy in high school, decided to become a physicist. At the age of 17 he entered the Reale Scuola Normale Superior, which is associated with the University of Pisa. There he earned his doctorate at the age of 21 with a thesis on research with X-rays. After a short visit in Rome, Fermi left for Germany with a fellowship from the Italian Ministry of Public Instruction to study at the University of Göttingen under the physicist Max Born, whose contributions to quantum mechanics were part of the knowledge prerequisite to Fermi's later work. He then returned to teach mathematics at the University of Florence. In 1926 his paper on the behaviour of a perfect, hypothetical gas impressed the physics department of the University of Rome, which invited him to become a full professor of theoretical physics. Within a short time, Fermi brought together a new group of physicists, all of them in their early 20s. In 1926 he developed a statistical method for predicting the characteristics of electrons according to Pauli's exclusion principle, which suggests that there cannot be more than one subatomic particle that can be described in the same way. In 1928 he married Laura Capon, by whom he had two children, Nella in 1931 and Giulio in 1936. The Royal Academy of Italy recognized his work in 1929 by electing him to membership, as the youngest member in its distinguished ranks.

He a appointed professor of physics at the University of Rome in 1927 where he worked with his former student, Emilio Segre on neutron research. This included experiments where elements such as uranium were bombarded with neutrons. By 1935 the two men had discovered slow neutrons, which have properties important to the operation of nuclear reactors. Fermi also carried out investigations into the artificial production of radioactivity and was awarded the Nobel prize in 1938. Married to an Italian Jew, Fermi disapproved of the racist rule of Benito Mussolini and before the outbreak of the Second World War his family emigrated to the United States Fermi worked at Columbia University and the University of Chicago where he continued his research into nuclear physics.

A lovely experiment
By Albert Wattenberg
December 1992 pp. 40-43 (vol. 48, no. 10) © 1992 Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists n 1939, Leo Szilard and Enrico Fermi began working together at Columbia. It was a very good combination, actually. They came up with the idea of using carbon in the form of graphite to slow the neutronsthis was from Fermi's earlier work in Romeand they put the uranium oxide in boxes as loose powder. They built a structure that I think was six by six or eight by eight feet wide and about 10 feet high, with a radium-beryllium source of neutrons in the base. They then measured the distribution of neutrons at different levels. Fermi worked out the theory for the process. If there is a multiplication of neutrons in the structure, then one sees the distribution by height falling off slowly. It's an exponential fall-off, and so these were called exponential piles. From these measurements and the theory worked out by Fermi, one can determine whether one can build a larger structure that will maintain a self-sustaining chain reaction. The first piles were somewhat discouraging. Impurities in the graphite and the uranium oxide "captured" the neutrons, thus "poisoning" the reaction. Szilard went to work on industry to get them to produce purer graphite and purer uranium oxide. He visited the plants, discussed the processes in detail, and got them to start making graphite without boron, which is disastrous for chain reactions.

Enrico Fermi
Physicist There are two possible outcomes: If the result confirms the hypothesis,
then you've made a measurement. If the result is contrary
to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.

Enrico Fermi
Enrico Fermi was born in Rome on September 29, 1901. He is best known for his contributions to nuclear physics and the development quantum theory. Fermi attended the University of Pisa, graduating in 1922. He became a lecturer at the University of Florence for two years and then professor of theoretical physics in Rome. In 1934, while at the University of Rome, Fermi began experiments where he bombarded a variety of elements with neutrons. He discovered that slow moving neutrons were especially effective in producing radioactive atoms. Not realizing he had split the atom, Fermi announced what he thought were elements beyond uranium. Fermi won the 1938 Nobel Prize for physics for his work on nuclear processes. Also in 1938 two German physicists, Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch performed a similar experiment where they split a uranium atom. They named the process of splitting atoms "nuclear fission." In 1938 Fermi left Italy. The "official" reason was that his wife was of Hebrew origin and he feared for her safety. The "un-official" story was that he needed funds to continue his research in nuclear physics. Italy was a poor country at that time and there were no resources to be found to continue his research. He was one of a large group of intellectuals who left other European countries with the rise of National Socialism (the Nazi Party) in Germany and Fascism in Italy. Fermi settled in the United States in 1939, and became professor of physics at Columbia University in New York City.

Albert Einstein ... Ludwig Wittgenstein Categories Leaders/Revol. Builders/Titans Scientiests/Thinkers Heroes/Icons A dark, compact man with mischievous gray-blue eyes, Fermi was the son of a civil servant, an administrator with the Italian national railroad. He discovered physics at 14, when he was left bereft by the death of his cherished older brother Giulio during minor throat surgery. Einstein characterized his own commitment to science as a flight from the I and the we to the it. Physics may have offered Enrico more consolatory certitudes than religion. Browsing through the bookstalls in Rome's Campo dei Fiori, the grieving boy found two antique volumes of elementary physics, carried them home and read them through, sometimes correcting the mathematics. Later, he told his older sister Maria that he had not even noticed they were written in Latin. document.write("");
