Researchers have performed an unprecedented nuclear reaction experiment that explores the unique properties of the "doubly magic" radioactive isotope of <sup>132</sup>Sn, or tin-132. The research is ...
Maria Goeppert Mayer was a physicist at Argonne who developed the nuclear shell model theory, a pivotal discovery that won her a Nobel Prize in 1963. This year marks the 75 th anniversary of the ...
Physicists have found a new “island of inversion” in the nucleus of molybdenum-84, a perfectly balanced atom with equal numbers of protons and neutrons. The discovery upends a decades-old assumption ...
Researchers at CERN have made a great step forward in revealing how atomic nuclei behave after they mapped the edge of a mysterious ‘island of inversion’ where the standard rules of nuclear physics do ...
Findings in nuclear physics theory have received several Nobel Prizes (1975-nucleus vibrations and rotations, 1963-nuclear shell model, 1949-meson exchange model of nuclear forces). Despite these ...
Two independent experiments have verified that the radioactive nucleus nickel-78 is “doubly magic”, as predicted by the nuclear shell model. The nucleus contains 28 protons and 50 neutrons, which ...
An unexpected deformation has been discovered in the helium-8 nucleus by an international team led by Matthias Holl and Rituparna Kanungo, both at Saint Mary’s University in Canada. The researchers ...
