Lanczos - Einstein - Petiau: From Dirac's equation to nonlinear wave mechanics
Andre Gsponer, Jean-Pierre Hurni
In 1929 Lanczos showed how to derive Dirac's equation from a more fundamental system that predicted that spin 1/2 particles should come in pairs. Today, these pairs can unambiguous…

Antimatter weapons (1946-1986): From Fermi and Teller's speculations to the first open scientific publications
Andre Gsponer, Jean-Pierre Hurni
We recall the early theoretical speculations on the possible explosive uses of antimatter, from 1946 to the first production of antiprotons, at Berkeley in 1955, and until the firs…

More on the early interpretation of the Schwarzschild solution
Andre Gsponer
Lemaitre was apparently the first to make an explicit coordinate transformation resulting in the removal of the singularity at r = a = 2m in the Schwarzschild metric, while Lanczos…
