‎First printing of Mayer's seminal paper which led to the finding of ""magic number"" and the Goeppert-Mayer ""shell model"". Marie Goeppert-Mayer and Marie Curie are the only two women to have received the Nobel Prize in Physics.The nuclear shell model is partly analogous to the atomic shell model which describes the arrangement of electrons in an atom. The nuclear shell model describes the structure of the nucleus in terms of energy based on the Pauli exclusion principle.""With Edward Teller in 1947, Marie Goeppert-Mayer began work on the origin of elements, which led to the finding that stable elements contained what would become known as ""magic numbers"", or patterns in the number of particles their nuclei contain. This ultimately led Goeppert-Mayer to the ""shell model"" of the nucleus - the theory that atomic nuclei owe their stability to the existence of relatively fixed ""shells"" or orbits upon which proton and neutrons travel. While other physicists also had envisioned a shell model, there was no convincing evidence until Marie Goeppert-Mayer, acting on a suggestion made by Enrico Fermi, and German scientist H. H. D. Jensen, working simultaneously but seperatly, discovered that spin-orbit coupling occurred within nuclei."" (Cullen-DuPont, Kathryn. Encyclopedia of women's history in America, 2000, p. 102) ""When Teller and I worked on a paper on the origin of elements, I stumbled over the magic numbers. We found that there were a few nuclei which had a greater isotopic as well as cosmic abundance than our theory or any other reasonable continuum theory could possible explain. Then I found that those nuclei had something in common: they either had 82 neutrons, whatever the associated proton number, or 50 neutrons. Eighty-two and fifty are "" magic "" numbers. That nuclei of this type are unusually abundant indicates that the excess stability must have played a part in the process of the creation of elements."" (Marie Goeppert-Mayer's Nobel Lecture, December 12, 1963)‎

‎First printing of the influential Meissner effect which lead to the discovery of the phenomenological theory of superconductivity by Fritz and Heinz London in 1935"" The Meissner effect is an expulsion of a magnetic field from a superconductor during its transition to the superconducting state and it allowed the first theoretical predictions for superconductivity to be made""In the spring of 1933, in the course of these measurements Meissner and his colleague Robert Ochsenfeld observed a new phenomenon that contributed greatly to the understanding of superconductivity. The magnitude of the magnetic field measured between conductors was a function of the direction of the current, which could be explained by the role played by the earth's magnetic field. Therefore, Meissner and Ochsenfeld carried out the measurements of changes in the magnetic field close to the conductors when these were subject only to the earth's field, that is, without any current running through them. Before superconductivity set in, the magnetic lines of force penetrated the crystals with almost no resistance because of their low susceptibility. From what was known about superconductivity at that time, it was expected that the distribution of the lines of force would remain unchanged if the temperature were lowered below the threshold level. However, Meissner and Ochsenfeld observed an increase in the lines of force in close proximity to the superconductors. Meissner interpreted this result as follows: the magnetic field flux was displaced from the crystals when superconductivity set in the magnetic field flux that previously flowed inside the conductors was now flowing between the crystals.""
