Known as “islands of inversion,” these regions are found among a sea of normal nuclei. Now, a new island may have been ...

Adding a single proton to a doubly magic isotope of oxygen is enough to significantly alter its properties, an international team of physicists has discovered. Led by Tsz Leung Tang at the University ...

An international research collaboration has provided experimental and theoretical evidence for the existence of the magic number of six in carbon isotopes. The researchers experimentally determined ...

Scientists at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have successfully measured the heaviest nucleus to date that undergoes proton emission. The discovery unveils a new ...

The CERN-MEDICIS facility in Geneva, Switzerland has produced radioisotopes for medical research for the first time. This is the first step in the MEDICIS facility’s plans to make a large number of ...

For years, physicists have mapped the stability of atomic nuclei with remarkable confidence. The periodic table, with its ...

With five more protons than should be stable, the newly discovered nitrogen-9 isotope sits right on the borderline of physical possibility. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
