 | | Enrico Fermi and the Rome Panisperna boys, I ragazzi di Via Panisperna, discovery of nuclear energy and of nuclear fragmentation, atomic bomb |
 | | In the experiments in the department in Via Panisperna, organized with very simple, often self-made laboratory tools and materials, Fermi and the "boys" discovered how to bombard heavy metals with nuclear particles. |
 | | On the other hand, Fermi, Segre (another of the "Panisperna boys") and Robert Oppenheimer (dubbed the "father" of the atomic bomb), viewed favourably the launch of the atomic bomb on Japan as they considered that there was no other way to make the Japanese authorities understand its distructiveness. |
