Enrico Fermi
Enrico Fermi (1901-1954) was the Italian-American “architect of the nuclear age” who built the world’s first nuclear reactor, co-invented the atomic bomb, and earned the 1938 Nobel Prize for discovering slow-neutron reactions that unlocked controlled fission.
ScienceNeutrinos
A neutrino is an elementary particle with no electric charge and extremely small mass, interacting only via the weak nuclear force and gravity, making it nearly undetectable.
ScienceLeptons
Leptons are elementary particles that do not interact via the strong force, comprising charged particles like electrons and neutral neutrinos, and playing critical roles in atomic structure and fundamental physics.
