    		Fermi, Enrico
    The Royal Society of London elected Fermi as a foreign member in 1950. The Enrico Fermi Award was established in his honor, and Fermi became its first recipient in 1954. An artificially produced chemical element, fermium, was named for him in 195Z. Also, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, a physics research laboratory near Chicago, bears his name
