Extractions: On December 2, 1942, Enrico Fermi and his team of scientists harnessed the atom and opened the door to new scientific and technological realms. His achievement allowed the U.S. to produce the atomic bomb that helped end World War II. Now, more than fifty years later, nuclear energy provides a significant part of the world's electrical power, and radioactive materials are used for hundreds of industrial, agricultural, and medical applicationsfrom food preservation to cancer therapy, checking the integrity of welds in pipelines and bridge supports, and gauges that measure the thickness of coatings applied to paper. Fermi was born in Rome in 1901 and received his doctorate from the University of Pisa in 1922. During 1923 to 1924, he studied in Gottingen, Germany, with Max Born, and in Leiden, The Netherlands, with Paul Ehrenfest. From 1924 to 1926, Fermi lectured in mathematical physics and mechanics at the University of Florence. He became the first professor of theoretical physics at the University of Rome, where he taught for 12 years. In 1938, Fermi traveled to Stockholm to receive the Nobel Prize "for his identification of new radioactive elements produced by neutron bombardment and his discovery, made in connection with this work, of nuclear reactions effected by slow neutrons."

Extractions: Enrico Fermi is known as the "father of the atomic bomb". Born Sept. 29, 1901 in Rome, Fermi attended the University of Pisa. He became a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Rome in 1927. While there, he discovered a method of splitting a uranium atom by bombarding the nucleus with neutrons. For this, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1938. After travelling to Sweden with his family to accept the prize, Fermi chose not to return to Fascist Italy, but instead went to London. In 1939, he came to the United States and taught at Columbia University. Fermi was placed in charge of the Manhattan Project at the University of Chicago in 1942, where he led the research that gave rise to the first atomic bomb. In a laboratory beneath the football stadium Fermi and his colleagues created an atomic pile - graphite blocks, uranium, and cadmium control rods. On December 2, 1942, the world's first controlled nuclear reaction took place. The project was moved to New Mexico in 1944, and on July 16, 1945, the first atomic bomb was detonated at Alamogordo Air Base. Three weeks later, bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending World War II.

Extractions: (Born Sept. 29, 1901 - Died Nov. 28, 1954) Enrico Fermi was born in Rome, Italy on September 29, 1901. His family had enough money to live comfortably and send him to college. Fermi was a quiet, serious person who devoted his life to studying and experimenting with unknown possibilities. He enjoyed his profession, and dedicated his life to it. In 1938, Fermi escaped to the U.S. on the eve of World War II and worked at several Universities. It was there that he did his experiments with nuclear fission. Fermi attended the University of Pisa, from which he graduated in 1922. He then went on to the University of Florence, where he lectured for two years. Later, he became the professor of theorectical physics at Rome. When Enrico Fermi came to the U.S., he started his experiments with nuclear fission at Columbia University. He then went on to continue his work with nuclear reactions at Chicago University. After that, he worked at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. This was the place that led to his making of the Atomic Bomb. Enrico Fermi is well known by the world for his accomplishment in creating the first self-sustaing nuclear reaction. This achievement led Fermi and his colleagues to making the Atomic Bomb. Fermi found a way to predict the behavior of atomic particles. Fermi took interest in radioactivity and the atomic structure. In 1938, Enrico Fermi won the Nobel Prize in physics for his experiments on the production of artificial radioactivity. Fermi, is truly a great man, and he contributed a lot to physics.

Extractions: Enrico Fermi Biography Enrico Fermi was born in Rome, Italy, on September 29, 1901. He died November 28, 1954. 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. 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, 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: Valentine L. Telegdi My purpose is to celebrate the centenary of Enrico Fermi's birth rather than to make a scholarly contribution to biography. Fermi was born in Rome on 29 September 1901 and died in Chicago on 28 November 1954. Having one's name permanently attached to an important physical concept or unit bestows a kind of immortality. It is hard to imagine any discussion of modern physics in which Fermi's name does not come up at least once, in terms such as fermion, Fermi gas, Fermi momentum, Fermi temperature, Fermi surface, Fermi coupling, Fermi transition, and Fermi length (1 F = 10 m). Still, because Fermi died so youngand so long agohe has become, for the current generation of physicists, a somewhat mystical figure. Figure 1 No one in the history of modern physics was more versatile than Fermi. His contributions in pure theory and concrete experimental work were equally great. He could, with equal ease, solve abstract problems or design and build, with his own hands, astonishingly useful experimental tools. He was also an exceptionally lucid expositor and an active and patient thesis supervisor. Through the influence of his eminent students, in Italy and the US, Fermi effectively revolutionized the training of physicists. and the articles by Hans and Henry Bethe (page 28

Extractions: The International School of Physics «Enrico Fermi», one of the most significant cultural activities of the Italian Physical Society, was founded in 1953 by the President of that time, Prof. Giovanni Polvani. The Courses of the School, usually held in Summer, by now have become an opportunity of meeting for scientists and young physicists from all over the world and have reached considerable international prestige. Three Courses of 12 days each, normally held from June through August, are chosen by the Council of the Italian Physical Society among numerous proposals arriving from either Italian or foreign groups of physicists or physics institutions. Considerable attention is paid to the cultural impact, the up-to-date scientific content, as well as a fair distribution and promotion among the different fields of contemporary physics. Each Course has one or two Directors and a Scientific Secretary. The task of the Director(s) consists in choosing and inviting lecturers and seminar speakers, taking into account their scientific competence. Participants are selected, upon application, by the Director(s) of the Course together with the President of the Italian Physical Society on the basis of the information submitted, with regard also to a fair distribution of the places available among students of various nations. Approximately 50 students attend each Course.

Extractions: HUTCHINSON ENCYCLOPEDIA Fermi, Enrico Italian-born US physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1938 for his proof of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by bombardment with neutrons, and his discovery of nuclear reactions produced by low-energy neutrons. This research was the basis for studies leading to the atomic bomb and nuclear energy. Fermi built the first nuclear reactor in 1942 at Chicago University and later took part in the Manhattan Project to construct an atom bomb. His theoretical work included the study of the weak nuclear force, one of the fundamental forces of nature, and beta decay. Neutron bombardment and the Nobel Prize Following the work of the Joliot-Curies , who discovered artificial radioactivity in 1934 using alpha particle bombardment, Fermi began producing new radioactive isotopes by neutron bombardment. Unlike the alpha particle, which is positively charged, the neutron is uncharged. Fermi realized that less energy would be wasted when a bombarding neutron encounters a positively charged target nucleus. He also found that a block of paraffin wax or a jacket of water around the neutron source produced slow, or thermal, neutrons. Slow neutrons are more effective at producing artificial radioactive elements because they remain longer near the target nucleus and have a greater chance of being absorbed. He did, however, misinterpret the results of experiments involving neutron bombardment of uranium, failing to recognize that nuclear
