Bruno Rossi

Bruno Rossi was a pioneering Italian-American physicist known for his work in cosmic rays and high-energy particle physics. He helped develop early detectors to study cosmic radiation from space, leading to discoveries about electromagnetic radiation and charged particles arriving from the sun and beyond. Rossi’s research contributed to understanding the origins of cosmic rays and laid groundwork for space-based science. He also played a key role in advancing scientific methods for detecting and analyzing high-energy particles, shaping modern astrophysics and space science. His innovations expanded our knowledge of the universe’s energetic phenomena.
