Soon afterwards he received a scholarship from the Italian Government to study under the physicist Max Born at the University of Göttingen. He returned to the University of Florence to teach mathematics. Fermi discovered the statistical laws known today as the “Fermi statistics,” in 1926.

In 1927, Fermi began the research which would become widely known throughout the field. He was elected Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Rome. The first fe

Fermi continued his work as soon as he reached the states. He was the greatest expert on neutrons so he was soon given the position of Professor of Physics at Columbia University, N.Y. The Hahn-Meitner-Strassmann experiment was being challenged by the idea of a nuclear chain reaction. Fermi, along with his peers, alerted Franklin D. Roosevelt to the idea of the production of an atomic bomb. The president acted upon the warning and approved the Manhattan Project which would produce the world’s first atomic bomb. On December 2, 1942, the first self-sustaining chain reaction was held in the basement of Stagg Field at the University of Chicago. The testing of the first nuclear device was at Alamogordo Air Base in New Mexico on July 16, 1945. Weeks later, these similar bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and
