Physicists Enrico Fermi (1901-1954, left), Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976, centre) and Wolfgang Pauli (1900-1958, right), who were all awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, in 1938, 1932 and 1945 respectively. Fermi created the reactor in which the first self-sustaining nuclear reaction took place. Heisenberg devised the Uncertainty Principle (the position and momentum of a particle can never be known at the same time). Pauli's Exclusion Principle explains atomic properties. Photographed in 1927.
