N2 - The findings for which Aage Bohr and Ben R. Mottelson became co-winners of the 1975 Nobel Prize in physics provided the basis for what can be called the second discovery of the atomic nucleus. They found that in this self-bound microscopic system made out of nucleons, collective and independent-particle motion, typical of a liquid drop and of planetary motion respectively, emerge from the same components of the strong force, their interweaving leading to phase transitions which can be studied in terms of individual quantal states.
