Fermi was born in Rome, Italy, and grew up in a family of modest means. He showed a keen interest in science and mathematics from an early age.

Attended the University of Pisa (1922)

Earned his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Rome La Sapienza (1926)

Fermi's work focused on nuclear reactions, neutron-induced radioactivity, and beta decay. He developed the theory of beta decay and introduced the concept of neutrinos.

Discovered slow neutrons (1934)

Developed the theory of beta decay (1934)

Contributed to the development of the atomic bomb (1942-1945)
