Slow neutrons in Palermo: a forgotten conference by Enrico Fermi
Emanuele Goldoni, Ledo Stefanini
On October 22, 1934, in a famous experiment, Enrico Fermi and his colleagues discovered that a significant increase in induced radioactivity can be obtained when neutrons are slowe…
Enrico Fermi: a forgotten article written for Italian teachers
Emanuele Goldoni, Ledo Stefanini
In 1929, Enrico Fermi wrote "Problemi attuali della fisica" ("Contemporary Problems of Physics"), a short article in Italian published in the magazine "Annali dell'istruzione media…
Enrico Fermi: a little-known conference dating back to the early years of solid-state physics
Emanuele Goldoni, Ledo Stefanini
In April 1925, Enrico Fermi was only 23 years old and he had graduated less than three years earlier. Despite his age, Fermi was invited at the University of Rome by Federigo Enriq…
A Century of Light-Bending Measurements: Bringing Solar Eclipses into the Classroom
Emanuele Goldoni, Ledo Stefanini
In 1919, Eddington and Dyson led two famous expeditions to measure the bending of light during a total solar eclipse. The results of this effort led to the first experimental confi…
Newton's second law: not so elementary (as it may seem)
Ledo Stefanini, Giancarlo Reali
We propose an interpretation of the Newton's second law that is suggested by Galilean Relativity theory.
Light propagation in dielectric materials
Ledo Stefanini, Giancarlo Reali
We present a pedagogic derivation of the electromagnetic field established in a dielectric material by an impinging external field. We consider the problem from the point of view o…
