		Franco Dino Rasetti (August 10, 1901 – December 5, 2001) was an Italian scientist.

	The Johns Hopkins Gazette: January 7, 2002
		Franco Dino Rasetti, professor emeritus of physics at Johns Hopkins and the last living holder of the patent on the atomic reactor, died on Dec. 5 in a retirement home in Waremme, Belgium, where he lived with his wife, Madeleine.
		Rasetti used spectroscopy and a quantum mechanical phenomenon known as spin to show that this couldn't be the case, and his experiments were cited as key supporting evidence in 1932 when another physicist discovered the neutron, a subatomic particle with a mass of one and no net electrical charge.
		Rasetti was a member of the Pontifical Academy of the Sciences, a panel of 80 scientists that advises the Vatican on scientific issues, promotes research and examines the ethical and environmental responsibilities of scientists.

		Attracting Franco Rasetti to Laval was a remarkable coup for this small university not far removed from its roots as a parochial Jesuit seminary.
		Rasetti stayed with his trilobites at Laval because he did not want to get involved with military work and because he knew, perhaps better than anyone, that the work he had started with Fermi in the 1920s could only result in the creation of new and monstrous means of destruction.
		Franco Rasetti, whose life marched, step by step, with the twentieth century, died in Waremme, Belgium on December 5, 2001 at the age of 100.

		Rasetti was a well-connected physicist with a first-rate international reputation.
		Rasetti had no previous experience with fossils, but with characteristic drive and determination he set out to become a paleontologist of trilobites -- the only one in Canada at the time.
		Rasetti's sections in this volume are immediately recognizable by his boldly executed reconstuctions of trilobites.

		Rasetti arrived at Laval in 1939 where he quickly went to work to establish a Department of Physics.
		Rasetti’s early work with Fermi in Italy is treated in many books and articles (Fermi, 1954; Holton, 1974; Libby, 1979), but Nason (1966) is the only article I have been able to locate that also considers his paleontologic work.

		Rasetti, attraverso le arditezze intellettuali di Fermi, ebbe come l'impressione di essere stato iniziato ad un culto esoterico, sensazione che non lo abbandonò neppure negli anni a seguire e che fu comune, per la verità, a tutti i giovani ricercatori di via Panisperna.
		In quella straordinaria avventura Rasetti ebbe un ruolo fondamentale, ma neppure allora riuscì a sentirsi completamente appagato dalla fisica.
		Le ragioni del suo rifiuto sono riassunte in una lettera scritta nell'immediato dopoguerra all'amico Persico: "Sono rimasto talmente disgustato dalle ultime applicazioni della fisica (con cui, se Dio vuole, sono riuscito a non aver niente a che fare) che penso seriamente a non occuparmi più che di geologia e biologia.

		In addition to mountain climbing with Segrè, Rasetti was instrumental in introducing Emilio to Fermi in 1927.
		Under the tutelage of Rasetti (experiment) and Fermi (theory) and the paternal oversight of O. Corbino, director of the institute, Segrè developed laboratory skills and gained much theoretical knowledge before getting his doctorate after only one year as a physics student.
		Under his leadership the group (Amaldi, D'Agostino, Fermi, Rasetti, Segrè) used a radon-beryllium source to bombard every available element in the periodic table in a search for new artificial radioactivities.

		At Pisa, Fermi strengthened a friendship with Franco Rasetti and maintained scientific contact with his former high-school companion, Enrico Persico.
		In parallel with his outstanding ability in theoretical physics, Fermi developed a genuine feeling for experimental investigation, acquiring with Rasetti in the institute's laboratory, which was put at their disposition by Puccianti, an excellent acquaintance with the techniques of X-ray diffraction.
		It was during this convention that a demonstration, which was carried out by Sommerfeld and others, of the effectiveness of the new quantum statistics for the understanding of hitherto insoluble problems, ensured Fermi's international reputation.

		Del tutto "disgustato per le ultime applicazioni della fisica", Rasetti decise di abbandonare la fisica e dedicarsi a ricerche di biologia e geologia (e divenne un grande specialista, pubblicando memorie di paleontologia e una grande monografia sulla flora alpina).
		Eppure Rasetti aveva le sue buone ragioni: come scrive in una lettera a Enrico Persico "tra gli spettacoli più disgustosi di questi tempi ce ne sono pochi che uguagliano quello dei fisici che lavorano nei laboratori sotto stretta sorveglianza dei militari per preparare mezzi più violenti di distruzione per la prossima guerra".
