Enrico Fermi

1901-1954

 

  He received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1938 for his work on the artificial radioactivity produced by neutrons, and for nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons. He was the first to achieve a sustained nuclear chain reaction at an improvised laboratory in a squash court at the University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois.
