Several awards, concepts, and institutions are named after Fermi, such as the Enrico Fermi Award, the Enrico Fermi Institute, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station, a class of particles called fermions, the synthetic element fermium, and many more.

Fermi moved to what was to become Los Alamos National Laboratory in the later stages of the Manhattan Project to serve as a general consultant.

Lederman also received the National Medal of Science ( 1965 ), the Elliott Cresson Medal for Physics ( 1976 ), the Wolf Prize for Physics ( 1982 ) and the Enrico Fermi Award ( 1992 ).

Richard Carrigan, a particle physicist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago, Illinois, suggested that passive SETI could also be dangerous in the style of computer viruses.

Among the honors he received were the Albert Einstein Award, the Enrico Fermi Award, the Corvin Chain and the National Medal of Science.

One example of this is the former town of Weston, Illinois, which voted itself out of existence and turned the land over for construction of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

The laboratory was founded in 1967 as the National Accelerator Laboratory ; it was renamed in honor of Enrico Fermi in 1974.

Nobel laureate Leon Lederman, director emeritus of nearby Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, was among the first to propose the school in 1982, and together with Governor Jim Thompson led the effort for its creation.

He hosts annual tornado and severe weather seminars at the Fermi National Accelerator Lab ( Fermilab ) in Batavia, Illinois.

Wilson had a direct role in the aesthetic design of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

Fermi later became a key member of the team at Los Alamos Laboratory that developed the first atom bomb.

As of January 1, 2007, Fermilab is operated by the Fermi Research Alliance, a joint venture of the University of Chicago, Illinois Institute of Technology and the Universities Research Association ( URA ).

On November 1, 2006, the Department of Energy announced that the Fermi Research Alliance, LLC ( FRA ) will manage Fermilab for five years starting January 1, 2007.

* Fermi Linux, distributions produced Fermilab

Robert Rathbun Wilson ( March 4, 1914 – January 16, 2000 ) was an American physicist who was a group leader of the Manhattan Project, a sculptor, and an architect of Fermi National Laboratory ( Fermilab ), where he was also the director from 1967 – 1978.

Originally named the National Accelerator Laboratory, it was renamed the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory ( Fermilab for short ) in 1974, after famed Italian physicist Enrico Fermi ; the facility centered around a four-mile circumference, 400 GeV accelerator.

He was appointed director of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory ( Fermilab ) and took up office on 1 July 2005.

Fermilab already had a Linux distribution known as Fermi Linux LTS 3. 0. 1, based on RHEL.

Soon after his arrival in New York City ( January 2, 1939 ), Fermi began working at Columbia University, where he had already given summer lectures in 1936 While at Columbia from 1939 – 42, until they moved to Chicago, Fermi and his wife resided in Leonia, New Jersey.

Enrico Fermi created the first artificial self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, called Chicago Pile-1 ( CP-1 ), in a racquets court below the bleachers of Stagg Field at the University of Chicago on December 2, 1942.

File: Enrico Fermi 1943-49. jpg | Enrico Fermi ( 1901-1954 ): developed first nuclear reactor ( Chicago Pile-1 ), contributed to quantum theory, nuclear and particle physics, and statistical mechanics, awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on induced radioactivity.

Amongst these, world-renowned physicists Emilio Segrè, Enrico Fermi ( whose wife was Jewish ), Bruno Pontecorvo, Bruno Rossi, Tullio Levi-Civita, mathematicians Federigo Enriques and Guido Fubini and even the fascist propaganda director, art critic and journalist Margherita Sarfatti, who was one of Mussolini's mistresses.

If the bias is small, we can let U − E ≈ φM in the expression for κ, where φM, the work function, gives the minimum energy needed to bring an electron from an occupied level, the highest of which is at the Fermi level ( for metals at T = 0 kelvins ), to vacuum level.

When a small bias V is applied to the system, only electronic states very near the Fermi level, within eV ( a product of electron charge and voltage, not to be confused here with electronvolt unit ), are excited.

The first experimental nuclear reactor had been developed and constructed by Enrico Fermi and his team of co-workers by the end of 1942 at the University of Chicago ( Chicago Pile-1 ), which proved that there were no obvious physical limitations to producing a slow-neutron nuclear chain reaction.

Robert Hofstadter coined the term fermi ( unit ), symbol fm, in honor of the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi ( 1901 – 1954 ), one of the founders of nuclear physics, in Hofstadter's 1956 paper published in the Reviews of Modern Physics journal, " Electron Scattering and Nuclear Structure ".

The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, initially called the Gamma-Ray Large Area Space Telescope ( GLAST ), is an international and multi-agency space observatory used to study the cosmos It was launched June 11, 2008, with a design life of 5 years and the goal of 10 years.

At the Fermi level ( or chemical potential ), the probability of a state being occupied is ½.

The electrochemical potential ( Earth-referenced Fermi level ) µ < sub > A </ sub > of body " A " is unchanged ( at value 0 ), because it remains locked to that of the Earth.

In such circumstances a quasi-Fermi level has sometimes been called an imref ( Fermi spelled backwards ), but the term " quasi-Fermi level " seems to be replacing this name.

This can be dealt with, for example, by saying that the Fermi level is N times the energy required to move 1 / Nth of an energy to the reference level ( where N is a very large number ), or by saying that the Fermi level is the energy required to move an electron to the reference level, not counting the energy stored in electrostatic fields.
