  Maria Göppert-Mayer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maria Göppert-Mayer (June 28, 1906 - February 20, 1972) was born Maria Göppert in Katowice (then in Germany, now part of Poland) and became one of the two women to receive a Nobel Prize in Physics (the other being Marie Curie).
From a young age, Maria was surrounded by the students and lecturers from the University, intellectuals including future Nobel winners, Enrico Fermi, Werner Heisenberg, Paul Dirac and Wolfgang Pauli.
Maria postulated, against the received wisdom of the time, that the nucleus is like a series of closed shells and pairs of neutrons and protons like to couple together in what is called spin orbit coupling.
