Hideki Yukawa and the Meson: How a Force’s Rang...
In 1934 Hideki Yukawa asked why the force that holds the nucleus together reaches only about the width of a proton. His answer: a force carried by a particle with...

The Cosmological Lithium Problem: Big Bang’s Mi...
The Big Bang’s first minutes forged hydrogen, helium and a trace of lithium, and the theory matches deuterium and helium beautifully. Lithium-7 is the odd one out: the oldest stars...

Maria Goeppert Mayer: What Are Nuclear Magic Nu...
Nuclear “magic numbers” are proton or neutron counts that make nuclei unusually stable. Maria Goeppert Mayer and J. Hans D. Jensen explained them with a shell model including spin–orbit coupling;...
