Elements as Atoms
Many of the ideas of quantum mechanics which went into the model of the hydrogen atom can also be used to understand helium, oxygen, copper and iron - in fact all of the elements.
Robert C. Richardson
Robert C. Richardson (1937 - ) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1996 along with David M. Lee and Douglas D. Osheroff for their discovery of superfluidity in helium-3.

Heike Kamerlingh-Onnes
Heike Kamerlingh-Onnes (1853 - 1916) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1913 for his investigations on the properties of matter at low temperatures which led to the production of liquid helium.
The Proton-Proton Chain
Read how stars like our sun use the proton-proton chain to generate energy by turning hydrogen to helium
