Extractions: Fermi recebeu o Prêmio Nobel pela Física em 1938 por "sua demonstração da existência de novos elementos radioativos produzidos pela irradiação dos nêutrons, e por sua descoberta relativa à reação nuclear induzida pelos nêutrons". "Em dois de dezembro de 1942, o homem realizou aqui a primeira reação em cadeia auto-sustentada e deu portanto inicio à liberação controlada da energia nuclear". No final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, a Universidade de Chicago criou seu Instituto de Estudos Nucleares (hoje chamado Instituto Enrico Fermi), para conservar juntos os talentosos cientistas que trabalharam no desenvolvimento da Bomba Atômica. Fermi entrou na Universidade de Chicago e continuou suas pesquisas sobre os núcleos do átomo, concentrando-se sobre as partículas que constituem o núcleo. Ele foi o primeiro a criar o desenho do sincrociclotrone É mais do que apropriado honrar o Doutor Enrico Fermi desta maneira, por ele ter feito tanto em favor do conhecimento, por suas numerosas contribuições ao progresso da ciência atômica, e particularmente por seu trabalho sobre os processos nucleares.

Extractions: November 29, 1954 OBITUARY Special to THE NEW YORK TIMES HICAGO, Nov. 28Dr. Enrico Fermi, an architect of the atomic age and Nobel Prize winner, died at his home here this morning of cancer. His age was 53. He had undergone what was described as an "exploratory" operation in Billings Memorial Hospital on Oct. 9. He returned to his home several weeks ago. Dr. Fermi was Distinguished Service Professor for Nuclear Studies at the University of Chicago. On Nov. 16 he was named the recipient of a special $25,000 award given by the Atomic Energy Commission for his work on the atomic bomb. The award was authorized under terms of the Atomic Energy Law, enacted this year, and it was bestowed upon Dr. Fermi with the approval of President Eisenhower. As a member of the University of Chicago's Metallurgical Laboratory, Dr. Fermi continued his investigations of the atom's fundamental properties, concentrating on the nature of particles constituting the nucleus, or heart of the atom. In his studies, the scientist concentrated on mesons, the short-lived atomic particles believed to form a kind of cosmic cement holding the atom together. He also served as a consultant in the design of the university's synchocyclotron, one of the world's most powerful atom smashers.

Extractions: Enrico Fermi was born in Rome, Italy, on September 29, 1901. The son of a railroad official, he studied at the University of Pisa from 1918 to 1922 and later at the universities of Leyden and Gottingen. He became professor of theoretical physics at the University of Rome in 1927. Fermi's accomplishments were in both theoretical and experimental physics, a unique feat in an age in which scientific endeavors have tended to specialize on one aspect or the other. Fermi received the Nobel Prize in 1938 for "his discovery of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for the discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons." Fermi and his family used the opportunity offered by his trip to Sweden for the awards ceremonies to come to the United States where Fermi accepted a position as professor of physics at Columbia University. Fermi moved to the University of Chicago to be in charge of the first major step in making feasible the building of the atomic bomb. In the squash courts under the west stand of the University's Stagg Field, Fermi supervised the design and assembly of an "atomic pile", a code word for an assembly that in peacetime would be known as a "nuclear reactor". Today, a plaque at the site reads: "On December 2, 1942, man achieved here the first self-sustaining chain reaction and thereby initiated the controlled release of nuclear energy."

Extractions: It is a great honor to be invited to speak of Enrico Fermi on the occasion of his centennial birthday. Fermi was a physicist's physicist whose legacy was one of style as well of substance a style so attractive and so productive for science that it became substantive in itself. I thank Secretary Abraham, Deputy Secretary Blake and Ambassador Salleo for this unique opportunity to pay tribute to one of the giants of twentieth century intellectual life. It is also an honor to share the program with three other eminent scientists and administrators, Daniele Amati, Luciano Maiani and Harold Agnew. Enrico Fermi is the father of modern nuclear physics. In his 1938 Nobel Prize speech, Fermi acknowledged the grandfather of this field, Lord Rutherford, who a generation earlier had begun bombarding substances with alpha particles, the positively charged nuclei of helium atoms that shoot out from uranium, radium, and other heavy elements. Those early experiments bore much fruit for physics, including the atomic model that we have today of a tiny massive nucleus orbited by electrically bound lightweight electrons. But while they elucidated the overall structure of the atom, Rutherford's experiments did not penetrate the mysteries of the nucleus itself.

Extractions: Search: Biographies Glossary Historical Documents Arms Control Treaties ... Web Links On December 2, 1942, the first man-made and self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was achieved, resulting in the controlled release of nuclear energy. This feat took place in a squash court beneath the stands of an unused football stadium at the University of Chicago. The scientist who led the achievement was Enrico Fermi. The first practical use of the ability to control nuclear energy was in the atom bombs that were used at the end of World War II. Enrico Fermi was born on September 29, 1901, in Rome. He was the youngest of three children. His father was a railroad worker, his mother a schoolteacher. At 17 Fermi entered the University of Pisa on a scholarship. He was soon teaching theoretical physics to his own physics instructor. In 1922 he earned his doctorate in the subject, and after further study in Gottingen, Germany, and in Leiden, the Netherlands, he began teaching at the University of Rome. Here Fermi met Laura Capon, a science student at the university who became his wife in 1928. They had a daughter and a son. In 1934 Fermi worked out a theory of beta-ray disintegration in radioactivity. Soon he was experimenting with neutrons and learned to make about 40 chemical elements radioactive. For this work he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1938.

Extractions: Enrico Fermi e "la bomba" (Percorso pubblicato in Ottobre 2001 Chiuso in Agosto 2002 Perché questo Percorso Il 29 settembre 2001 è stato il centenario della nascita di Enrico Fermi e questa ricorrenza può indurci a cogliere alcune delle principali problematiche relative al ruolo della scienza e dello scienziato nella modernità Fermi riteneva sua responsabilità primaria l'interesse per la ricerca scientifica e, pur intravedendo alcune conseguenze delle sue ricerche, ne trasferiva la responsabilità al potere politico . Su questo estraniarsi ciascuno potrà dare le proprie valutazioni, ma, prima di qualsiasi giudizio, una breve considerazione, che non vuole essere né una storicizzazione della responsabilità, né tanto meno una giustificazione, ma né più né meno che una riflessione aperta. Visto che siamo in giorni di premi Nobel , ma anche di tensioni internazionali paragonabili, per le poste di civiltà in gioco, a quelle di 60 anni fa, fingiamo un'ipotesi fra il fantascientifico e la fantapolitica . Supponiamo che sia realistico arrivare a "costruire dei veri e propri laser atomici". Di fronte alla possibilità di liquidare Bin Laden e le centrali terroristiche con operazioni veramente "chirurgiche", risparmiando vite umane e ingenti costi materiali da dirottare verso "veri" interventi umanitari, quale decisione dovrebbero assumere i premi Nobel Eric Cornell, Carl Wieman e Wolfgang Ketterle?

Extractions: Enrico Fermi The U.S. Postal Service will honor Chicago physicist Enrico Fermi by issuing a new 34-cent stamp in his honor on Saturday, Sept. 29, the centennial of his birth. The Postal Service and the University will commemorate the new stamp during a dedication ceremony from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 29, at Ida Noyes Hall, 1212 E. 59th St. Both events are free and open to the public. Fermi covered a lot of scientific ground in his 53 years on this Earth, applying his fertile mind to such wide-ranging scientific queries as those that questioned the fundamental characteristics of the atom and the potential for extraterrestrial intelligence. But he also produced the first controlled, nuclear chain reaction and conducted pioneering research on the most powerful subatomic particle accelerator of its day. Roger Hildebrand, the Samuel K. Allison Distinguished Service Professor in Physics, who joined the University faculty as an Assistant Professor in 1952, will be among the symposium speakers. Fermi was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1938 for his discovery of new radioactive elements produced by the addition of neutrons to the cores of other atoms, and for the discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slowly moving neutrons. Nevertheless, he is probably best known outside of scientific circles for his role in producing the first controlled, nuclear chain reaction at the University during World War II.

Fermi's accomplishments were in both theoretical and experimental physics, a unique feat in an age in which scientific endeavors have tended to specialize on one aspect or the other. In 1933, he developed the theory of beta decay, postulating that the newly-discovered neutron decaying to a proton emits an electron and a particle which he called a "neutrino". The theory developed to explain this interaction later resulted in recognition of the weak interaction force. Investigation into the weak force has been one of the major areas of study at Fermilab. Experimentally, Enrico Fermi and his colleagues, during the early 1930's, studied in detail the theory of neutrons; they bombardedmost of the elements in the periodic table with them. They slowed down the neutrons, and among other things, produced a strange new product when bombarding uranium with neutrons which later was recognized to be a splitting of the uranium atoms.

Extractions: 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 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.

Watson Research Center, IBM. Garwin who studied with Fermi, said that he played a central role in mastering nuclear fission by means of his study of the neutron chain reaction. According to Garwin, today there are 103 nuclear power reactors, providing heat for the generation power for 20 percent of the world's energy needs. He concluded by offering recommendations for improvements for both nuclear and non-nuclear power plants. For nuclear plants, he recommended honest evalutions of accident probability and risk. For non-nuclear facilities, he suggested that consideration should be given to the storage of energy, especially compressed air, to match consumption to energy generation.
