Enrico Fermi, (born September 29, 1901 in Rome, Italy; died 29 November 1954) was an Italian-American physicist most noted for his work on beta decay, the development of the first nuclear reactor and for the development of quantum theory. Fermi won the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics. ...
Enrico Fermi (29 September 1901 – 28 November 1954) was an Italian physicist, particularly remembered for his work on the development of the first nuclear reactor, and for his contributions to the development of quantum theory, nuclear and particle physics, and statistical mechanics. awarded the ...

This increases the atomic number (the number of protons, or particles with "positive" electric charges, minus the number of electrons) of the nucleus by one unit. Fermi worked out a detailed theory of beta decay based on the idea that a neutron (a particle with no electric charge) in ...

Enrico Fermi was a versatile physicist contributing in equal measure to theory and experiments. He is credited to be the 'Father of the Atomic Age' following his successful demonstration of sustained chain reaction in Chicago Pile-1. In this article, I have discussed his major experimental ...
The Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant—world's largest fast breeder—is a 100,000-kw facility currently nearing completion at Lagoona Beach, Mich. Access to the sodium-cooled core is provided by a 143-ton shield plug. The maximum credible nuclear accident for the Fermi reactor has been ...
