Luigi Puccianti (Italian: [luˈiːdʒi putˈtʃanti]; 11 June 1875 – 9 June 1952) was an Italian physicist.[1]

Career

In 1899–1900, Puccianti constructed a highly sensitive

X-rays
by using a diffraction grating at large angles of incidence.

Puccianti was, at one time, the academic advisor to

Nobel prize winner Enrico Fermi. He once said there was little he could teach Fermi, and often asked Fermi to teach him something instead.[4]
