The CREF is located in the historic “building” on Via Panisperna, where Enrico Fermi and his group made the discoveries that led to the 1938 Nobel Prize.
The building currently houses a museum dedicated to the figure and scientific legacy of Fermi and a centre for physics research and studies.
A BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The Enrico Fermi Historical Physics Museum is housed in the building in Via Panisperna, once the "Regio Istituto Fisico", where, in the 1930s, a group of young scientists, gathered around the figure of Enrico Fermi, conducted the famous experiments on neutron-induced radioactivity, which were fundamental for understanding the structure of the atomic nucleus. (Nobel Laureate 1938).
TOUR ROUTE IN BRIEF
The route retraces the significant stages of Fermi's life and discoveries by combining traditional objects and panels with modern multimedia technologies in an innovative way.
NOT TO BE MISSED
The visit is of particular interest to secondary school pupils, teachers, scientists, historians and science historians, but also to all those who are interested in understanding how research into matter intertwined with the historical events of the 20th century.
