Enrico Fermi. Identity photograph of Italian physicist Enrico Fermi (1901-1954),from the security files of the Los Alamos laboratory in 1943-45. As one of the greatest nuclear physicists of his day and winner of the 1938 Nobel Prize for physics,Fermi was a natural choice to work on the first nuclear bomb. He had directed the building of the first atomic pile in Chicago in 1942,and was an expert on neutron dynamics,a crucial part of chain reaction theory. Fermi joined the staff at Los Alamos in late 1944,and was given a research division of his own. After the war,Fermi took a professorship at Chicago,but in 1954 he died of cancer | |
