Argonne Physicists Steven Pieper and Bob Wiringa use Argonne 's parallel supercomputers to calculate the forces that bind together nucleons – protons and neutrons – to form atomic nuclei. These images represent different angular momentum states of the deuteron, a two-body hydrogen nucleus comprising one proton and one neutron.
