We review how nuclear forces emerge from low-energy QCD via chiral effective field theory.
The presentation is accessible to the non-specialist. At the same time, we also provide …

In the past decade, coupled-cluster theory has seen a renaissance in nuclear physics, with
computations of neutron-rich and medium-mass nuclei. The method is efficient for nuclei …

Today, coupled-cluster theory offers the most accurate results among the practical ab initio
electronic-structure theories applicable to moderate-sized molecules. Though it was …

The last decade has witnessed both quantitative and qualitative progress in shell-model
studies, which have resulted in remarkable gains in our understanding of the structure of the …

We link the structure of nuclei around Sn 100, the heaviest doubly magic nucleus with equal
neutron and proton numbers (N= Z= 50), to nucleon-nucleon (NN) and three-nucleon (NNN) …

The theoretical and experimental issues relevant to neutrinoless double beta decay are
reviewed. The impact that a direct observation of this exotic process would have on …

Mendeleev's introduction of the periodic table of elements is one of the most important
milestones in the history of chemistry, as it brought order into the known chemical and …

Recent advances in nuclear structure theory have significantly enlarged the accessible part
of the nuclear landscape via ab initio many-body calculations. These developments open …

We present an overview of recent results and developments of the no-core shell model
(NCSM), an ab initio approach to the nuclear many-body problem for light nuclei. In this …

Background: The equation of state (EoS) of nucleonic matter is central for the understanding
of bulk nuclear properties, the physics of neutron star crusts, and the energy release in …
