Emilio G. Segrè made a career in science at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Emilio G. Segrè as Italian physicist and Nobel laureate.
Emilio G. Segrè was born at Tivoli in 1905. His recorded nationality is the United States. He was educated at Sapienza University of Rome.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
Emilio G. Segrè is described as physicist, university teacher and nuclear physicist.
His affiliations include University of California, Berkeley, University of Palermo and Sapienza University of Rome.
Emilio G. Segrè is associated first and foremost with elements technetium and astatine, and the antiproton, a subatomic antiparticle, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1959. Results that survive re-examination become the floor of a discipline.
His recorded fields of work are physics.
Formal recognition came in the shape of the Nobel Prize in Physics (1959).
Working from the United States shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Death came in 1989, at 84. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
