   Extractions: "For a long time I have considered even the craziest ideas about atom nucleus... and suddenly I discovered the truth." Maria Goeppert-Mayer was born on June 28, 1906 in Katowice, Poland. In 1910 she moved with her parents to Gottingen, Germany. She enrolled at the University at Gottingen in the spring of 1924 with the expectation of pursuing a career in mathematics. In 1930 Maria Goeppert married U.S. chemical physicist Joseph E. Mayer. "Mathematics began to seem too much like puzzle solving. Physics is puzzle solving, too, but of puzzles created by nature, not by the mind of man." Source: Maria Goeppert-Mayer, A Life of One's Own by J. Dash But soon she became attracted to physics and the developing field of quantum mechanics. In 1930 she took her doctorate in theoretical physics under the direction of Nobel Prize Winners Max Born, James Franck, and Adolf Windaus. Together with her husband, Joseph Edward Mayer, they moved to Baltimore and worked at Johns Hopkins University, Maryland. In 1939 they went to Columbia University. There she worked under the direction of Harold Urey at the Strategic Alloy Metals Laboratory which researched the separation of isotopes of uranium for the atomic bomb project. She co-authored a text entitled Statistical Mechanics (1940) with her husband. After the war, 1945, she took a professorship of physics at the Institute for Nuclear Studies, University of Chicago, under the influence of Enrico Fermi. In 1948, Maria Goeppert-Mayer began work on nuclear shell structure and the meaning of the

NUCLEAR SHELL MODEL: Discovery of the magic numbers and their explanation in terms of a nuclear shell model with strong spin-orbit coupling. For this she won the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physics, with J.H.D. Jensen who had independently proposed the strong spin-orbit coupling. She was the first person to investigate the theoretical basis of nuclear pairing, which plays an important role in the shell model of the atomic nucleus. OTHER IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS: Maria Goeppert Mayer was an accomplished physicist from the beginning of her career until the end and she made numerous contributions to the field of physics. She was the first person to investigate the phenomenon of double quantum emission and, a few years later, double beta decay. Mayer and Herzefeld were the first to study the effect of magnetic susceptibility on the refractive index of a gas. Mayer and Sachs pioneered the application of the new idea of a Yukawa potential between neutron and proton to the nuclear two-body system. Mayer was the first person to work out the atomic properties of transuranic elements as well. Mayer's last contribution, with Lawson, was the use of the center of mass and relative coordinates for the calculation of shell model interaction energies. Her Nobel Lecture on being awarded a Nobel Prize:

   Extractions: Contents Next M aria Goeppert-Mayer developed the nuclear shell model of atomic nuclei, an achievement honored when she became the third woman ever awarded the Nobel Prize for physics, in 1963. She shared the prize with J. Hans D. Jensen, who had independently developed a similar model, and with theoretician Eugene Wigner. Although she lived a life of scholarly privilege, with the support of her family and many notable scientists, she was not able to secure full-time work in her field until she was 53. Mayer performed most of her scientific work as a volunteer. Maria married physical chemist Joseph E. Mayer in 1930 and together they moved to Baltimore, where Joe was a professor at Johns Hopkins. Maria adopted a hyphenated form of their names and anglicized the spelling. She had an attic office and a mixed assortment of honorary job titles, but no pay. She nevertheless produced ten papers, a textbook, and her daughter Maria Ann during her time in Baltimore. She was pregnant with her son John in 1938, when Joe unexpectedly lost his job. They left Hopkins for Columbia University. There, they wrote a classic textbook, Statistical Mechanics. Again, Goeppert-Mayer had office space, but no pay. During the Second World War, she worked on uranium isotope separation, under Harold Urey and others who helped develop the atom bomb. After the war, the Columbia physicists moved to Chicago, and the Mayers followed.

   Extractions: Welcome to the second annual Maria Goeppert-Mayer Symposium on Chemistry, or, should I say, on Science. Today, the fundamental achievements of any one area of science crosses the boundaries of many fields, and resides on the realm of the interdisciplinary. Such were the achievements of Maria Goeppert-Mayer. UCSD is fortunate to have had such a scholar at the outset of its "improbable venture." Maria is a role model for any scientist whose primary goal is the pursuit of truth in knowledge. For much of her scientific career, the joy of the process was her sole reward. Indeed, at the time she received the Nobel Prize in Stockholm, she recalls that, as excited and apprehensive as she was, she nevertheless wondered why she was not more excited still, why there was a faint taste of anticlimax to the evening. Clearly, for Maria it was the journey and not the destination that counted most. Maria was born in 1906 in Kattowitz, Germany, an only child to Friedrich Goeppert, a 6th generation professor, and his wife Far Maria Nee Wolf, also a professor until marriage.

    Extractions: NPACI News Maria Goeppert-Mayer Scientific research leaders in materials science, chemistry, drug discovery, and neuroscience will speak at the University of California, San Diego 2003 Maria Goeppert-Mayer Interdisciplinary Symposium. The annual meeting, named in honor of the co-winner of the 1963 Nobel Prize in physics, highlights fundamental, interdisciplinary scientific achievements. This year's meeting, the eighth in the series, will be held 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., March 1 at Robinson Auditorium on the UCSD campus. "This event has struck a chord in the research community with its emphasis on interdisciplinary science," said Kim Baldridge, an adjunct full professor of theoretical chemistry at UCSD and director of integrative computational sciences at UCSD's San Diego Supercomputer Center. She founded the symposium in 1996. "This year, our invited speakers will discuss subjects ranging from drug development to understanding the brain, and a variety of fascinating topics in between," said Baldridge. In addition, the meeting features nearly 30 scientific research posters presented by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from UCSD and other academic institutions.

    Extractions: An accomplished physicist, Goeppert-Mayer made numerous contributions to the field of physics and was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for theoretical physics. Educated at the University of Goettingen, Germany, Mayer was initially attracted to math, but later shifted to physics. After her marriage in 1930, she left Germany for Johns Hopkins University, where her husband, Joseph E. Mayer, taught in the chemistry department. She received an assistantship in the physics department at Johns Hopkins. For most of her career, nepotism rules at universities where her husband worked prevented Meyer from holding full-time positions. During WWII, she worked on the Manhattan Project. In 1946, the Mayers moved to Chicago where, as a senior physicist at the newly formed Argonne National Laboratory, her interests turned to nuclear physics. She collaborated with Hans D. Jensen to publish Elementary Theory of Nuclear Shell Structure

    Extractions: Maria Goeppert-Mayer One of her former students at Johns Hopkins, Robert Sachs, brought her to Argonne University at "a nice consulting salary." Sachs would later become Argonne's director. While there, she learned most of her nuclear theory and set up a system of "magic" numbers to represent the numbers of protons and neutrons, arranged in shells, in the atom's nucleus. While collecting data to support nuclear shells, she was at first unable to marshal a theoretical explanation. During a discussion of the problem with Fermi, he casually asked: "Incidentally, is there any evidence of spin-orbit coupling?" Goeppert Mayer was stunned. She recalled: "When he said it, it all fell into place. In 10 minutes I knew... I finished my computations that night. Fermi taught it to his class the next week." Goeppert Mayer's 1948 theory explained why some nuclei were more stable than others and why some elements were rich in isotopes. The following year, J. Hans Daniel Jensen independently advanced the same theory. They collaborated on Elementary Theory of Nuclear Shell Structure

    Extractions: Physicist (second female Nobel Prize winner in Physic) Maria Goeppert was born on 28 June 1906 in Katowice (Silesia). She was the only child of her parents (her father was a professor of paediatrics). In 1910 the family moved to Goettingen where her father got a position at Goettingen University. She spent her whole childhood and youth in Goettingen,where she got her school leaving certificate. After leaving school in 1921 it was sure that she would study, because her father wanted her to get a good education. In 1924 she first signed up for Mathmatics at Goettingen University, but three years later she decided to change over to Physics. Maria specialiced in theoretical Physics and in 1930 she did a doctorate, shortly before she met her future husband Joseph Mayer, an American chemist.

    Extractions: Su padre era académico y aceptó un puesto en la Universidad de Gotinga en 1910. Parecía natural que Maria estudiara en esa universidad, sin embargo surgieron dificultades (las primeras) por ser mujer. Por eso estudió en Gotinga en forma libre y rindió sus exámenes de "Abitur"en Hannover ante profesores que nunca había visto. Para los estudios graduados no tuvo problemas en Gotinga excepto que prontamente cambió de matemática a física. Más adelante explicará este cambio de la manera siguiente: En 1956 fue elegida a la Academia Nacional de Ciencias de Estados Unidos. Tres años después aceptó su oferta definitiva de trabajo en la Universidad de California, en San Diego. Fue allí donde la alcanzó el Premio Nobel, cuando un diario de San Diego tituló "Madre de San Diego gana Premio Nobel". También allí la alcanzó la muerte el 20 de febrero de 1972.

Jensen and Eugene Wigner), she became only the second U.S. woman ever to win a Nobel prize, and the first U.S. woman to do so in physics. Her work promoted the theory that the stability of atomic nuclei is due to the arrangement of the protons and neutrons in relatively fixed shells or orbits. Goeppert-Mayer earned her degree in physics from the University of Gottingen in Germany, and worked at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland after she moved to the United States. In 1946, she joined the faculty of the University of Chicago. She achieved the rank of full professor in 1959.
