Past research

Another research focus has been the history of 20th century science, and in particular physics. 聽Sabine has published a scholarly edition of the private and scientific correspondence of Rudolf Peierls, co-edited a volume on the Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction and the Nuclear Many-body Problem and a Festschrift for the American theoretical physicist Gerald E. Brown. 聽She has also published an edition of the complete correspondence of Nobel Laureate Hans Bethe and Rudolf Peierls.
