Examples include "Why the Woman Student Does Not Elect Physics" (John Daffin, 1937), "War Problems of the Physics Teacher" (Arthur Compton, 1942), Enrico Fermi on chain reactions (1952), Edward Purcell on nuclear magnetism (1954), Emilio Segre on antinucleons (1957), "A Physicist Examines the Kennedy Assassination" (Luis Alverez, 1976), and "Wormholes in Spacetime and Their Use for Interstellar Travel" (Kip Thorne, 1988).
