"In addition to his artistic inspirations, Nitsche derived much of his imagery from science itself, such as the abstracted symbols for isotopes used in his poster for 'nucleodynamics'" (https://www.typotheque.com/articles/erik_nitsche_the_reluctant_modernist). This is the Japanese language poster from the Atoms for Peace series.
