Enrico Fermi

Enrico Fermi, Italian-born American nuclear physicist, circa 1942. Fermi (1901-1954) constructed the first working nuclear reactor, in a squash court at the University of Chicago in 1942. He won the Nobel prize for physics in 1938 for his demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons. Fermi is shown here in the control room of the Chicago synchro-cyclotron. (Colorised black and white print). Artist Unknown. (Photo by The Print Collector/Getty Images)
