The Death of Enrico Fermi and others.
Diese Bücher lass er sehr gründlich und verarbe… Realizing He could not have come at a more opportune time. Fermi underwent what was called an "exploratory" operation in Billings Memorial Hospital in October 1954, after which he returned home. As a member of the University of Chicago's Metallurgical Laboratory, Dr. Fermi continued his investigations of the atom's fundamental properties, concentrating on the nature of particles constituting the nucleus, or heart of the atom. and to Frisch.

Lise Meitner, before her exile from Nazi Germany Dr. Fermi and the other physicists, particularly the exiles from Nazi and Fascist- dominated lands, realized from the beginning that "the world was in for trouble." 1938 erhielt er den Nobelpreis für Physik. Memorial services at the University of Chicago will be held at 2 P. M. Friday in Rockefeller Chapel. Fermi died in Chicago in 1954.
In 1928 Dr. Fermi married Laura Capon.
was then that Dr. Fermi and the rest of the scientific world realized that the strange phenomena they had been observing and could not explain were in actuality the fission of uranium. It was he, when still a young man of 33, who first used the neutron, discovered in 1932 by Sir James Chadwick of Cambridge University, England, as a modern Philosophers' Stone for the transmutation of the elements and the creation of more than forty stadium.

As early as March, 1939, less than three months after his arriving in the United States, Dr. Fermi, armed with a letter of introduction from Columbia to Admiral S. C. Hooper, in Washington, tried to interest the Navy Department in the possibility of an That meant the first atomic fire in history had been kindled.
November 1954 in Chicago, Illinois) war einer der bedeutendsten Kernphysiker des 20. After Dr. Fermi had set the atomic furnace into successful operation in 1942, Dr. Arthur Holly Compton, now of Washington University, St. Louis, and director of the Metallurgical Laboratory, telephoned an impromptu coded message to Dr. James B. Conant, In Germany, unbeknown to him, Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, who had been repeating the pioneer experiment begun by Dr. Fermi in Rome in 1934, stumbled upon the world-shaking discovery that the shooting He had undergone what was described as an "exploratory" operation in Billings Memorial Hospital on Oct. 9. in the middle of 1938, had been a long-time collaborator of Hahn, who informed her privately of his startling discovery. His age was 53. Fermi’s historic accomplishments caused him to be recognized as one of the great scientists of the 20th century. Enrico Fermi (* 29. Soon it reached Dr. Fermi at Columbia, who communicated it to other colleagues. That year, he also was elected to the Royal Society of England. Dr. Conant asked, "How were the natives?" Dr. Bohr arrived in New York Jan. 16, 1939, and at once communicated the news to physicists in Princeton. By the time the Government was ready to support the project with substantial funds, the Fermi-Szilard He was graduated from the University of Pisa in 1922, and in 1924, after study in Germany and the Netherlands, was appointed lecturer at the University of Florence. It In 1945, after serving for three years with the atomic bomb project, he joined the Institute of Nuclear Studies at the University of Chicago. the leader of that famous team of scientists who lighted the first atomic fire on earth, on that gloomy squash court underneath the west stands of the University of Chicago's abandoned football physics at the University of Rome, where he remained until he left Italy to join the physics faculty of Columbia. Enrico Fermi was the chief architect of that atomic furnace, which he named "pile," but has since become better known as a nuclear reactor, the technical name for an atomic power plant. He also served as a consultant in the design of the university's synchocyclotron, one of the

Meantime, Dr. Fermi and the other exiled physicists had learned through former colleagues in Germany that the Nazis had created a special institute in Berlin to which they had assigned some of their top scientists to work on an atomic bomb. in the autumn of 1938. It was his epoch-making experiments at the University of Rome in 1934 that led directly to the discovery of uranium fission, the basic principle underlying the atomic bomb as well as the atomic power plant. The couple had two children, Nella and Giulio. Obwohl er zu Hause keinerlei Anregung dazu erhielt, interessierte er sich schon als Zehnjähriger für alles, was mit Physik und Mathematik zusammenhing.
