Fermi, while at the University of Floren

ce as a lecturer, in 1926, discovered statistical laws now known as Fermi-Statistics. While Enrico was the professor at the University of Rome, he conducted experiments that demonstrated nuclear transformation occurs in almost every element exposed to neutron bombardment in the nucleus. Resulting from this work was the discovery of “slow neutrons”, leading to the discovery of nuclear fission and the production of elements lying beyond the periodic table. By 1938, Fermi was without a doubt the biggest expert on neutrons, and continued his work on them in the United States, when he was appointed professor of physics at the University of Colombia.

During the last years of Enrico's life, he also managed to entertain himself with the problem of the mysterious origin of cosmic rays, a topic that had puzzled and intrigued hi
