Enrico Fermi ’ s impact on science
E N R I C O FE R M I I S the father of modern nuclear physics and 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. In his 1938 Nobel Prize speech, Fermi acknowledged the grandfather of this field, Lord Rutherford, who a generation earlier had begun bombarding substances with alph...

متن کاملEnrico Fermi's View of Identical Particles. Fermi and Identical Particles 2
In this paper I discuss Enrico Fermi’s view of identical particles, taking a lecture that he gave in 1933 as a starting point. Fermi used his lecture as a basis for a paper that was published in 1934: the paper is in italian and is not easily accessible to a wide audience, and for this reason its translation is also given in a section of the present paper. PACS numbers: 01.65.+g Fermi and ident...
متن کاملTeaching Theoretical Physics: the Cases of Enrico Fermi and Ettore Majorana
We report on theoretical courses by Fermi and Majorana, giving evidence of the first appearance and further development of Quantum Mechanics teaching in Italy. On the basis of original documents, we make a comparison between Fermi’s and Majorana’s approaches. A detailed analysis is carried out of Fermi’s course on Theoretical Physics attended by Majorana in 1927-28. Three (previously unknown) p...
متن کاملEnrico Fermi and the Physics and Engineering of a Nuclear Pile: the Retrieval of Novel Documents
We give a detailed account of the recent retrieval of a consistent amount (about 600 pages) of documents written by Enrico Fermi and/or his collaborators, coming from different sources previously unexplored. These documents include articles, patents, reports, notes on scientific and technical meetings and other papers, mainly testifying Fermi’s activity in the 1940s about nuclear pile physics a...
