We have discovered unknown very valuable old photos of Prof. Hideki Yukawa at the unveiling ceremony of his bronze statue at an elementary school in Kochi in 1954. The statue was moved to a newly created garden in1982, which in the…

In 1954, following a five-year research period in the U.S., Professor Hideki Yukawa returned to Japan and visited Kochi on March 21 to attend the unveiling ceremony for the first statue of him ever built in Japan, a project initiated by the…

Hideki Yukawa, Sin-itiro Tomonaga and Shoichi Sakata pioneered nuclear and particle physics and left enduring legacies. Their friendly collaboration and severe competition laid the foundation to bring up the active postwar generation of…

A memorial to Prof. Hidekuni Hidekoshi, Kyoto University, Japan - an accelerator pioneer in Japan, teacher, mentor, friend, unassuming but knowing his accomplishments and worth, frugal but generous, enjoying life. Japanese contributions…

Light is shed on the early stage in the birth of Yukawa's meson theory, particularly on the interplay between Yukawa and Tomonaga in 1933. The discovery of the muon by Nishina' group in 1937 is also reviewed. It is pointed out that…

Modern nuclear theory presents a fascinating study in contrasting approaches to the structure of hadrons and nuclei. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the treatment of the pion cloud. As this discussion really begins with Yukawa, it is…

This paper is based on a talk delivered on 16 November, 2015 in Osaka at the Nambu's Century: International Symposium on Yoichiro Nambu's Physics

Asteroid (162173) Ryugu was the first spinning-top-shaped asteroid to be closely approached by a probe, the Hayabusa2 spacecraft, which sent numerous high-resolution images of Ryugu to the Earth and revealed the nature of this type of…

Pioneering works and stimulation by S. Hayakawa for the development of high-energy astrophysics in Japan.

We study the behaviour of Yukawa and Newtonian gravitational forces in a cubic box with fully periodic boundaries commonly encountered in N-body simulations of the structure formation. Placing a single gravitating body at the origin of…

The onset and the development of the concept of exchange force in quantum physics are historically reconstructed, starting from Heisenberg's seminal contributions in 1926 and going through the great developments in nuclear physics, which…

In this article, I trace the early historical developments that ultimately led to the creation of the atomic bomb. Even after the completion of weapons, many scientists continued to argue that nuclear armaments were indispensable for…

A survey is given of the evolution from Yukawa's early work, via the understanding of the pion as a Nambu-Goldstone boson of spontaneously broken chiral symmetry in QCD, to modern developments in the theory of the nucleus based on the…

We give a description of the growth of research on Knot Theory in Japan. We place our report in a general historical context. In particular, we compare the development of research on mathematical topology in Japan with that in Poland and…

Edwin Powel Hubble is regarded as one of the most important astronomers of 20th century. In despite of his great contributions to the field of astronomy, he never received the Nobel Prize because astronomy was not considered as the field of…

The idea of atoms is old but X-rays provided the first probe into the physical atom. Photographs of X-ray scattering from crystals -Laue spots- were the first visual proof for the physical existence of atoms arranged in a perfect geometric…

The electroweak Higgs boson has been discovered in ongoing experiments at the LHC, leading to a mass of this particle of 126 GeV. This Higgs boson mediates the generation of mass for elementary particles, including the mass of elementary…

This report summarizes the most important results presented at the recent conference held at the Yukawa Institute of Theoretical Physics in Kyoto, devoted to the recently confirmed light sigma resonance. Remarkably, all speakers at this…

In this talk I pay tribute to Toshimitsu Yamazaki who died earlier this year. Yamazaki's leading contributions to Hadronic Physics, in particular to Strangeness Nuclear Physics in Japan and elsewhere, are well known. Two of the five…

As proposed in a previous paper, the decorations of ancient objects can provide some information on the approximate evaluations of constant {\pi}, the ratio of circumference to diameter. Here we discuss some disks found in the tomb of…
