The nobel prize-winning italian scientist who pioneered nuclear reactions was fermidaltoneinstein.

Enrico Fermi who was born on 29th September 1901 and died on 28th November or 1954 was an Italian physicist who pioneered in the world's first nuclear reactor, the Chicago Pile-1. He has been dubbed as the "architect of the nuclear age", and the "architect of the atomic bomb". Only few of the physicist excel in doing both experimental and theoretical work. In the case of Fermi, he excelled in both. He also held the patents of the use of nuclear power. The Nobel Prize for Physics and was awarded to him in 1938 for his work on induced radioactivity by neutron bombardment and the discovery of transuranic elements. He also had other important contributions to the development of nuclear and particle physics, quantum theory and statistical mechanics.
