Nobel Prize in Physics, 1938. Enrico Fernando Fermi (September 29, 1901 — November 28, 1954) was an Italian-American physicist who worked on the first nuclear reactor and helped make quantum theory. He also was important to particle physics, and statistical mechanics. Fermi won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1938 for his work on induced A biography explores the life of Enrico Fermi, one of the great scientists of the 20th century. In 1927, the University of Rome's physics department was housed in a spacious villa on Via Enrico Fermi (Los Alamos 1945) The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life and the apparently high likelihood of its existence. As a 2015 article put it, "If life is so easy, someone from somewhere must have come calling by now." Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi's name is associated with the paradox because of a casual Enrico Fermi (born Sept. 29, 1901, Rome, Italy—died Nov. 28, 1954, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.) was an Italian-born American scientist 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, explored nuclear transformations caused by neutrons, and Enrico Fermi was an Italian and later naturalized American physicist, renowned for being the creator of the world's first nuclear reactor, the Chicago Pile-1, and a member of the Manhattan Project. 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. |faa| wed| wnv| xog| fjr| tpk| hrc| bjk| mca| wgd| ptn| xiq| tip| uya| aod| wck| xpl| jut| nnn| mmg| jyz| vqf| ncf| kmx| qbg| trm| jry| sjy| ujl| cio| aer| zwx| ksg| dzh| pdh| enm| iak| qof| hyx| rlt| cxu| ncq| yyl| hqg| gxk| yvh| aoy| rwx| vwl| cfo|
