On this day 95 years ago, the existence of neutrinos was first postulated by Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli.

In an open letter sent on 4 December 1930 to a group of nuclear physicists, Pauli put forward the existence of an extremely light and very weak particle with no electric charge in the nucleus of atoms, which he called a neutron, to explain the continuous spectrum of beta decay. In 1934, Enrico Fermi took up this idea and incorporated this postulated particle into his beta decay theory, naming it neutrino, which means ‘little neutral one’ in Italian. However, it was not until 1956 that Pauli’s prediction was finally confirmed by physicist Frederick Reines and his colleagues.

These little neutral particles have been used since the mid-20th century to probe environments in space and understand astronomical phenomena, like the conditions of the Sun’s core, and to further scientific investigations in particle physics and the matter of the universe.

A day to go

Today is the birthday of Homi J. Bhabha, who is famous for his work on electron scattering and pioneering the nuclear energy programme in India!

One of Bhabha’s most well-known achievements was deriving the correct expression of scattering positrons by electrons, which became known as Bhabha scattering. He is often referred to as ‘the father of the Indian nuclear programme’. He earned this reputation from his role in establishing the Cosmic Ray Research Unit at the Indian Institute of Science IISc Bangalore and from helping to formulate India’s strategy in nuclear power.

He played an important part in the formation of the Atomic Energy Commission in 1948 and the Department of Atomic Energy in 1954. He represented India at IAEA conferences.

Did you know?
Born on this day in 1885, Neils Bohr was famous for his revolutionary theory on atomic structures and radiation emission.

Bohr’s atomic model explains that electrons orbit the nucleus at certain distances. When an electron changes orbits, a light quantum is emitted. Photons are emitted as a result of the energy difference between the initial and final orbit. Bohr's theory could explain why atoms emit light in fixed wavelengths. Thanks to his fundamental contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, Bohr received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.

In 1954, Bohr helped to establish the European Organization for Nuclear Research, and in 1955, he put together the Atoms for Peace Conference. Bohr received the Atoms for Peace Award in 1957 for his continuous efforts to call for peaceful applications of atomic energy.
