Lecture given on September 21, 1929 by Orso Corbino, translated into English by Fausta Segre. Topics covered include: long term goals of experimental physicists up to that point; the rise of modern theoretical physics and the expansion of experimental physics; Enrico Fermi; new areas of experimental research; beginnings of nuclear physics; where physics can go in the future.
(1876-1937): Italian physicist and politician; noted for his studies of the influence of external magnetic fields on the motion of electrons in metals and discovered the Corbino effect; as director of the Institute of Physics he was supervisor of Enrico Fermi, Edoardo Amaldi, Franco Rasetti, Emilio Segre, Bruno Pontecorvo, Oscar D'Agostino, and Ettore Majorana.
