The finding in question is a notebook, clearly written in Fermi's handwriting, which records the frenzied days and nights that Fermi spent experimenting alone, driven by his theoretical ideas on beta decay ... While much is already known about the road that led Fermi to his important result, this is the first time that it has been possible to reconstruct precisely when and how the initial evidence of neutron-induced decay was obtained"--Amazon.com. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Fermi, Enrico, $d 1901-1954. 600 17 $a Fermi, Enrico, $d 1901-1954. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00008878 650 0 $a Physics $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Radioactivity $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Neutrons $x History. $x History. 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Energy. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Mechanics / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Physics / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Neutrons $x Research. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01036673 650 7 $a Physics $x Research. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01063093 650 7 $a Radioactivity $x Research. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01088031 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Robotti, Nadia, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213013227.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010011128.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D241F8EACC5111E8987A620997128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
