## Bio

Johannes Hans Daniel Jensen was born 25 June 1907 in Germany. During World War II he worked on the Uranium Club, the German nuclear energy project, contributing to uranium isotope separation. After the war he took a professorship at the University of Heidelberg and rotated through visiting posts at Wisconsin–Madison, the Institute for Advanced Study, Berkeley, Indiana, and Caltech. His work on nuclear shell structure — the discovery that nucleons occupy discrete energy levels in ways that explain nuclear stability and magic numbers — earned him half the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physics, shared with Maria Goeppert Mayer, with Eugene Wigner taking the other half. Jensen died 11 February 1973.
