Johannes Hans Daniel Jensen was a German theoretical physicist. Working independently of Maria Goeppert Mayer, he arrived at the same explanation for nuclear shell structure, the model explaining why nuclei with certain numbers of protons or neutrons are unusually stable. He shared one half of the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physics with Goeppert Mayer for these discoveries, with Eugene Wigner receiving the other half for separate work. During the Second World War, Jensen had worked on the German nuclear energy project's uranium isotope separation efforts.
