Executive summary: Subatomic particles Physicist Robert L. Mills was a 27-year-old graduate student when, working with eventual Nobel laureate Chen Ning Yang, he proposed a new approach to gauge theories in non-abelian symmetry groups. Now called Yang-Mills fields, their equation added greatly to scientists' understanding of how subatomic particles interact, and led to numerous subsequent developments in subatomic physics.
