Abstract: The present study covers a part of the history of the nuclear binding energy. It is based on the formula of Albert Einstein mass-energy equivalence (E = mc2). We present in this paper a brief history of Aston\'s whole number, mass-defect and nuclear binding energy, its exact definition, and especially its sign that raises fierce controversy between physicists and students.
