A tribute to Enrico Fermi
Description
This article is a short biography of Enrico Fermi 'The Pope of physics'. His main contributions in theoretical physics have paved the way to quantum electrodynamics and the quantization of the fields. Fermi got also great achievements on beta decay process and on nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons. Fermi was awarded the Nobel prize of physics in 1938
