378:, McKellar and his collaborators published his definitive study on three nucleon forces, famously known as the "Tucson-Melbourne" force. His work on weak interactions led to calculation of the electric dipole moments expected for the nucleon and atoms in various models of these interactions. This work then evolved into studies of related effects in the B meson system.

McKellar and his students also did foundational work on the behaviour of neutrinos propagating through a dense background of neutrinos as one finds in the early universe. He is well known for the "He McKellar
Wilkens" phase, a seminal quantum physics result predicted by He and McKellar, and Wilkens
