Is there some evidence suggesting that humans are the Galaxy’s only intelligent species? Enrico Fermi thought so – and he was a pretty smart guy. Could he be right? In 1950, the famous physicist made ...

Discover the Fermi Paradox — why, in a vast universe full of stars and planets, haven't we found extraterrestrial life? Explore the theories behind this great mystery. The universe is vast ...

The resulting tunneling current can be calculated using the time-dependent perturbation theory. If a positive V is applied to the sample, the Fermi level of the sample shifts down with respect to the ...

The Fermi surface, or the highest occupied state in the electronic structure, allows direct determination of the doping level. This picture shows the Fermi surface of the highly overdoped ...

U.S. nuclear power plants have two Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspectors stationed right on site. Who is at Fermi 2? What ...

Intrinsic Fermi level, Donor and acceptor impurities, Impurity energy levels, the Carrier concentration in extrinsic semiconductor, and Fermi level of extrinsic semiconductors. This module introduces ...

Further comparison with first-principles calculations suggested that the density of states at the Fermi level for d-electrons plays a key role in determining both properties. This insight provides ...

Enrico Fermi, Italian-American physicist, received the 1938 Nobel Prize in physics for identifying new elements and discovering nuclear reactions by his method of nuclear irradiation and bombardment.
