Description
The past decade or so has seen great progress in applying effective field theory ideas and non-perturbative many-body methods towards the quantitative prediction of the structure of light nuclei. I will give a brief overview of this program and discuss work in progress to extend this success up the nuclear chart beyond A=100, with a focus on binding energies, beta decay, and the limits of stability.
