When the Moon is at quarter, its terminator generally does not appear to be orthogonal to a straight line connecting the Moon with the Sun. A purely geometric, intuitive interpreta…
Bohr's way to defining complementarity
Alberto De Gregorio
We go through Bohr's talk about complementary features of quantum theory at the Volta Conference in September 1927, by collating a manuscript that Bohr wrote in Como with the unpub…
Enrico Fermi and the Old Quantum Physics
Alberto De Gregorio, Fabio Sebastiani
We outline Fermi's early attitude towards old quantum physics. We sketch out the context from which his interest for quantum physics arose, and we deal with his work on quantum sta…
Neutron physics in the early 1930s
Alberto De Gregorio
Dawning neutron physics was more complex than one might expect. The chance that the neutron comprised a proton and an electron was diffusely taken into account after the discovery…
Enrico Fermi and the discovery of neutron-induced radioactivity: a project being crowned
Alberto De Gregorio
This paper deals with the Physics Institute of via Panisperna in Rome, getting ready for investigation on neutron physics before Fermi's discovery of neutron-induced radioactivity.…
