Postage Stamp : The 100th Anniversary of Fermioni
Date of Issue : March 11, 2026
Description : This stamp commemorates the 100th anniversary of the formulation of Fermi-Dirac statistics (1926) and the naming of “fermions”—particles that follow these statistics and obey the Pauli exclusion principle. The right side features a portrait of the Nobel Prize-winning Italian physicist Enrico Fermi. The left side displays a stylized physics diagram: a parabolic curve representing a potential well with horizontal energy levels, populated by yellow dots.
