Together with Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard, Fermi ultimately succeeded in constructing the world's first atomic pile in a squash court under the stands of Stagg Field at the University of Chicago.

We are speaking here of the caliber of Szilard, Fermi, Oppenheimer, Einstein, Bohr and assorted others, not to make another “gadget,” but to plan for nuclear deterrent success via calculated ...

Arthur Holly Compton, a Nobel laureate and dean of the physical sciences at UChicago, and included the most eminent physicists, chemists and engineers of the time—including Enrico Fermi, Leo Szilard ...

Is there some evidence suggesting that humans are the Galaxy’s only intelligent species? Enrico Fermi thought so – and he was a pretty smart guy. Could he be right? In 1950, the famous physicist made ...

Szilard soon joined Fermi in New York. Together they calculated that a kilogram of uranium would generate about as much energy as 20,000 tonnes of TNT. Szilard already saw the prospect of nuclear war.

Hatalmas vita alakult ki Demeter Szilárd és Ungár Péter között, ami abból ered, hogy a kormány évi 1 milliárd 800 millió ...

It is not a real surface but a picture of how the electrons in a metal behave. These pictures explain such properties of metals as luster, ductility and the conduction of electricity and heat ...

Brian Dennehy as Gen. Groves heads the strong cast that distinguishes this Emmy-winning chronicle of America's race to build the A-bomb. Oppenheimer: David Strathairn. Szilard: Michael Tucker.

Szilárd develops geophysical models to infer the history of planetary interiors and surfaces from spacecraft observations. This has included his search for sub-surface oceans within Saturn's icy ...
