An experiment carried out at CERN's ISOLDE facility has determined the western shore of a small island of atomic nuclei, where conventional nuclear rules break down. The atomic nucleus was discovered ...
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 ...
Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? Researchers report on experiments to come closer to an answer. They gained insight ...
From in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy experiments, a large prolate deformation for the N = 152 nucleus 252 Fm with a quadrupole deformation parameter β ≈ 0.3 was established from the observed rotational ...
