	Enrico Fermi - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		The method that Fermi developed became known as Fermi statistics, and the particles that obey the Pauli exclusion principle became known as fermions.
		Fermi discovered that shooting neutrons through paraffin wax at a sample of atoms slowed the neutrons down and increased the intensity of the radioactivity.
		Fermi eventually returned to the University of Chicago and continued to research radioactivity and neutrons.

	The My Hero Project - Enrico Fermi
		Enrico Fermi is viewed as one of the last physicists who was actually able to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and experimental application.
		Fermi realized at this point that someone might be able to create a stable chain reaction using the same principles and potentially generate an enormous amount of energy, either in the form of electricity, or a bomb.
		Enrico Fermi was one of the 20th century's greatest physicists.

		Enrico Fermi was born in the city of Rome in 1902.
		Fermi lectured in mathematical physics and mechanics at the University of Florence from 1924 to 1926.
		In 1938, Fermi was honored with the Nobel Prize "for his identification of new radioactive elements produced by neutron bombardment and his discovery, made in connection with this work, of nuclear reactions effected by slow neutrons." He traveled to Stockholm to receive this award.

	Fermi, Enrico
		Fermi was the youngest of the three children of Alberto Fermi, a railroad employee, and Ida de Gattis.
		Fermi's colleagues were inclined to believe that he had actually made a new, "transuranic" element of atomic number 93; that is, during bombardment, the nucleus of uranium had captured a neutron, thus increasing its atomic weight.
		Fermi did not make this claim, for he was not certain what had occurred; indeed, he was unaware that he was on the edge of a world-shaking discovery.

	Enrico Fermi Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Fermi was born on Sept. 29, 1901, in Rome, the third child of an official in the Ministry of Railroads.
		Fermi worked out in a short time an elegant theory of beta decay based on the idea that a neutron in the nucleus is transformed (decays) into three particles: a proton, an electron (beta particle), and a neutrino.
		Fermi's hypothesis for this miracle, which he immediately confirmed, was that in passing through the paraffin, a compound containing a large amount of hydrogen, the neutrons had their velocity much reduced by collisions with the hydrogen nuclei; and these very slow neutrons--contrary to all expectations--induced a much higher radioactivity in substances than did fast neutrons.
