What is the birthdate of this American physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics and led a group of eminent researchers in the World Federation of Scientists?
World Federation of Scientists The World Federation of Scientists is a multi-disciplinary association of scientists focused around concentrating talent to solving planetary challenges. Established in Erice, Sicily in 1973 by a group of eminent researchers led by Isidor Isaac Rabi and Antonino Zichichi, it has grown to include more than 10,000 scientists drawn from 110 countries. Notable scientists involved with the association include T. D. Lee, Laura Fermi, Eugene Wigner, Paul Dirac, and Piotr Kapitza.
