Enrico Fermi: Unleashing the Atom

Imagine unlocking a power that could change the world forever... or destroy it.

🤯 This is Enrico Fermi, the brilliant mind who engineered the

impossible. ✨ In 1942, in a secret squash court beneath

a stadium, he led a team with a daring goal. To build the

world's first self-sustaining nuclear reactor, Chicago Pile-1. ⚛️ On December 2nd,

the experiment reached criticality. A new era began. 💡

This paved the way for nuclear power and, controversially, the atomic bomb.
