Tony Skyrme

Tony Skyrme was a British physicist renowned for developing a mathematical model, called the Skyrme interaction, to describe how protons and neutrons interact inside atomic nuclei. His work helps scientists understand nuclear structure and behavior without relying on complex calculations of individual particles. Essentially, Skyrme's model provides a simplified way to predict the properties of atomic nuclei, which is important in nuclear physics research, including nuclear energy and understanding fundamental forces in nature.
