È una storia italiana, ma che Impresa memorabile finita in tragedia - // mondo in ansia tenne con il fiato sospeso il mondo intero e Trenta giorni feriti sul pack - Tante vittime - // mobilitò uomini coraggiosi e un gran numero di nazioni. salvataggio del rompighiaccio sovietico «Krassin» La storia inizia, ufficialmente, nel 1928. Il generale dell'Aeronautica Umberto Nobile, studioso e costruttore di dirigibili, è già conosciuto, in Italia e all'estero, per aver sorvolato il Polo Nord, nel 1926, a bordo del «Norge», un dirigibile da lui costruito. La trasvolata è avvenuta insieme al grande esploratore Hoald Amundsen ed è stata un successo del quale tutti parlano. Il mitico Polo Nord, in quegli Quell'umanissimo anni, è ancora inesplorato e inaccessibile e sono decine gli scienziati, nel mondo, che vorrebbero conoscerne i segreti. Il clima, insomma, è ancora quello del pionierismo ottocentesco a fini scientifici. Nel 1928, appunto, Nobile propone a Mussolini di ripetere quel volo per una impresa scientifica che avrebbe onorato il Paese. Il dramma sotto dittatore ha un japan bisogno di gloria e di successi perche il regime deve apparire «moderno» e all'avanguardia. Nobile, purtroppo, ha però l'antipatia di Giuseppe Valle, futuro capo di Stato Maggiore dell'Aeronautica e di Italo Balbo, pilota di aerei, trasvolatore e sottosegretario all'Aeronautica.

    Aldo Pontremoli Leonardo Gariboldi Dipartimento di Fisica [email protected] 1920 Graduation in Physics 1920 Assistant in Rome 1924 Lecturer in Superior Physics 1924 Milan Institute of Physics 1926 Prof. Theoretical Physics 1928 Polar expedition Rutherford: “Bakerian Lecture: Nuclear Constitution of Atoms” Proceedings of the Royal Society 1920, 97, 686: 374-400. “We […] have strong reason for believing that the nuclei of atoms contain electrons as well as positively charged bodies […]. It is of interest to note the very different rôle played by the electrons in the outer and inner atom. In the former case, the electrons arrange themselves at a distance from the nucleus, controlled no doubt mainly by the charge on the nucleus and the interaction of their own fields. In the case of the nucleus, the electron forms a very close and powerful combination with the positively charged units and, as far as we know, there is a region just outside the nucleus where no electron is in stable equilibrium.” “On present views, the neutral hydrogen atom is regarded as a nucleus of unit charge with an electron attached at a distance, and the spectrum of hydrogen is ascribed to the movements of this distant electron.” “Under some conditions, however, it may be possible for an electron to combine much more closely with the H nucleus, forming a kind of neutral doublet. Such an atom would have very novel properties. Its external field would be practically zero, except very close to the nucleus, and in consequence it should be able to move freely through matter. Its presence would probably be difficult to detect by the spectroscope, and it may be impossible to contain it in a sealed vessel.

  • 10 Years of Success Stories with the EPS Historic Sites
    PrimaPagina N. 87 - Marzo 2021 EDITORIALE Editorial 10 years of success stories with the EPS Historic Sites L. Cifarelli 30-03-2021 http://www.primapagina.sif.it/article/1273 The Historic Site programme of the European Physical Society (EPS) dates back to 2011, having been established under my presidency ten years ago. The idea was to honor and commemorate with the Historic Site (HS) award places in Europe, or even outside geographical Europe, that are important for the development and the history of physics. Sites with national or European/international significance to physics and its history can be considered for this distinction, namely places (laboratories, buildings, institutions, universities, towns etc.) associated with an event, discovery, research or body of work, by one or more individuals, that made long lasting contributions to physics. Nominations are open throughout the year from the EPS website and reviewed 2-3 times/year by the HS Committee. The EPS works with the nominators to obtain local authorisations for placing a plaque and in organising an official inauguration ceremony. Through March 2021, over 90 proposals were received, almost all of them approved, and 55 EPS Historic Sites have been inaugurated until now in more than 20 different Countries. The present EPS HS Committee includes Goran Djordjevic (Serbia), Ursel Fantz (Germany), Alain Fontaine (France), Jim Hough (UK) and myself. There are two observers, one for the American Physical Society (APS), whose similar Historic Sites programme inspired that of the EPS, and one from the EPS Young Minds (YM) Committee. The Chair of the Committee is Karl Grandin (Sweden), also Chair of the EPS History of Physics (HoP) Group.

  • Via Panisperna Boys”: the Role of Ettore Majorana
    JCOM 1 (3), September 2002 Science Communication and the “via Panisperna boys”: the Role of Ettore Majorana Angelo Mastroianni Università degli Studi “La Sapienza” di Roma Enrico Fermi’s work gave birth to a real cultural revolution in the Italian scientific scenario. His scientific studies concerned almost every field in physics and had far-reaching effects of which virtually everybody, above all in Italy, is still taking advantage. Two important “by-products” of Fermi’s ideas and initiatives will be here taken into consideration: the new way of carrying out research and communicating science invented by Fermi and his group and his publications for the general public, which often stood for high examples of scientific popularisation. Then the focus will shift on Ettore Majorana’s role to try to understand why his work in the field of communication within the School of Physics of Rome was basically non-existent despite the excellent communicative skills he demonstrated both during his university lectures – also published in this magazine – and in his article “Il valore delle leggi statistiche nella fisica e nelle scienze sociali” [20], the only one which does not deal with pure physics issues and which will be also taken into account in this paper Fermi’s Cultural Revolution In the first thirty years of the 1900s, two important innovations were introduced in the field of modern physics: the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. The promoters of both these changes were born or worked in Central Europe, except Gregorio Ricci Curbastro and Tullio Levi Civita (Italy), Satyendra Nath Bose (India), Arthur Holly Compton and Alfred Landè (USA, but the latter 1 was of German origin).

Thank you very much for joining us. As we've dis- cussed, today we will be mostly discussing the history of replica symmetry breaking in a broad sense. Before we get there, however, we wanted to ask you a few questions about your background and interests. In particular, could you tell us what led you to be interested in physics and to pursue a Laurea degree in theoretical physics? FG: Like many people in Italy, in the first two years of university I was enrolled in engineering, like Ettore Majorana1 for example. Then I found that I was more interested in basic scientific questions, so I decided to shift to phys- ics. It was the start in Naples at the time—it was ‘62—of new, big enter- prises in physics. In Naples, there was the old institute of physics and they were involved mostly in classical physics, spectroscopy, solid state physics, and so on. Then, in the middle of the ‘50s, modern physics underwent an impressive development. My big boss at the time was Eduardo Caianiello2.

    Nasjonsrelaterte stedsnavn på Svalbard Hvilke nasjoner har satt flest spor etter seg? NOR-3920 Oddvar M. Ulvang Mastergradsoppgave i nordisk språkvitenskap Fakultet for humaniora, samfunnsvitenskap og lærerutdanning Institutt for språkvitenskap Universitetet i Tromsø Høsten 2012 Forord I mitt tidligere liv tilbragte jeg to år som radiotelegrafist (1964-66) og ett år som stasjonssjef (1975-76) ved Isfjord Radio1 på Kapp Linné. Dette er nok bakgrunnen for at jeg valgte å skrive en masteroppgave om stedsnavn på Svalbard. Seks delemner har utgjort halve mastergradsstudiet, og noen av disse førte meg tilbake til arktiske strøk. En semesteroppgave omhandlet Norske skipsnavn2, der noen av navna var av polarskuter. En annen omhandlet Språkmøte på Svalbard3, en sosiolingvistisk studie fra Longyearbyen. Den førte meg tilbake til øygruppen, om ikke fysisk så i hvert fall mentalt. Det samme har denne masteroppgaven gjort. Jeg har også vært student ved Universitetet i Tromsø tidligere. Jeg tok min cand. philol.-grad ved Institutt for historie høsten 2000 med hovedfagsoppgaven Telekommunikasjoner på Spitsbergen 1911-1935. Jeg vil takke veilederen min, professor Gulbrand Alhaug for den flotte oppfølgingen gjennom hele prosessen med denne masteroppgaven om stedsnavn på Svalbard. Han var også min foreleser og veileder da jeg tok mellomfagstillegget i nordisk språk med oppgaven Frå Amarius til Pardis. Manns- og kvinnenavn i Alstahaug og Stamnes 1850-1900.4 Jeg takker også alle andre som på en eller annen måte har hjulpet meg i denne prosessen. Dette gjelder bl.a. Norsk Polarinstitutt, som velvillig lot meg bruke deres database med stedsnavn på Svalbard, men ikke minst vil jeg takke min kjære Anne-Marie for hennes tålmodighet gjennom hele prosessen.

Nei primi anni del secolo scorso non c’era paese, il cui governo non avesse costruito stazioni radiotelegrafiche ad uso militare ed in seguito civile, dotando le loro flotte di questo nuovo sistema di comunicazione. L’uso della radio si estese a diversi settori, principalmente a quello dei trasporti. La radio venne installata anche su quella specie di navi volanti chiamate “Aeronave“ o Dirigibili che in quell’epoca si credeva avessero un promettente futuro. La principale fabbrica di Dirigibile sorse in Germania, nei pressi del Lago di Costanza, dove venivano costruiti gli “Zeppelin“. Anche in Italia, un giovane ingegnere aeronautico di nome Umberto Nobile convinse il Governo dell’epoca a costruire, in seno alla neo costituita Arma Azzurra, l’Aeronautica Militare, alcuni Dirigibili. Ciò avveniva nelle Ofcine Cavour, nei pressi di Roma. Umberto Nobile, oltre che progettista di Dirigibili era anche appassionato esploratore ed alcuni anni prima, insieme all’esploratore norvegese Amundsen, fu l’artefice di una collaborazione scientifica con Svezia e Norvegia. !1 Curò la costruzione di un Dirigibile chiamato “Norge“, la cui missione, oltre a raggiungere il Polo Nord, era di esplorare se tra il Polo e l’Alaska vi fosse solo ghiaccio. Visto l’esito positivo della spedizione Nobile convinse il Governo italiano ad approntare una nuova spedizione, tutta italiana.
