While sharing an office at Brookhaven National Laboratory, in 1954, Chen Ning Yang and Mills proposed a tensor equation for what are now called Yang-Mills fields. Mills was born in Englewood, New Jersey. Mills became Professor of Physics at Ohio State University in 1956. The Mills family lived for many years in Columbus, Ohio during Mills' tenure as professor at Ohio State University.
