What did Enrico Fermi discover?

Answer 1

Enrico Fermi invented (with the rest of his team, him being the leader) the first ever nuclear reaction chain which devoloped a bomb that could destroy an entire city.

Above is the original answer. However, I am adding a "few" words from my personal point of view on the subject: Fermi contributed plenty towards the potential demolition of entire existing/natural/perfect in its own creation fragile thing called life. I admire his brain power and passion in a complicated field of physics he chose to study and became obsessed with. I hate to admit that I think his drive, desire, passion was misused by him, without him knowing what kind of consequences his work and research will eventually have. Radioactivity is a poison to all natural things. Including us. All living creatures: animals, people, plants, air. water.... Naturally accruing radiation from the sun, space etc always were and are accruing in doses that would never hurt anyone or anything. But it takes one great and powerful brain power (which Mr. Fermi had plenty of) to plant the seed for the idea to be be taken way too far and in time become the source of destruction to all existing form of life when misused.

Answer 2

Much for the same reason you posted the question on this website. Collaboration, or the contribution of ideas to build one's understanding of a subject. Fermi would collaborate with other scientists to further his own understanding.

Answer 3

Ernest Rutherford's research suggested an atom different from the one proposed by J.J. Thomson. Rutherford's model suggested an atom with a very small positively charged center nucleus, which contains most of the atom's mass. He also proposed that atoms contain a cloud of electrons that orbit around the nucleus and that most of the atom is empty space.

In the Rutherford atomic model, the positively charged matter is concentrated at the center of the atom, in the nucleus. The electrons orbit the nucleus. There is a great deal of space between the nucleus and the electrons.

Answer 4

He created the statistacal laws that applied to matter particles, now known as fermions. Also, he helped Einstein with the first atomic bomb

Answer 5

Fermi, a physicist, is known mainly for his work on the first nuclear reactor.

Answer 6

Enrico Fermi was famous for his achievement in experimental and theoretical physics. He was an Italian physicist. He was best known for his Chicago Pile-1.

Answer 7

A basic understanding as to the structure of an atom

Answer 8

Enrico Fermi won the Noble Prize in Physics in 1938. He worked on particle physics, quantum theory, and the first nuclear reactor.
