Together with results by some nuclear mass models (denoted by pink block), calculations suggest that the isospin asymmetry of heavy nuclei at the neutron drip line tends toward a saturation value. The ...

Researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study revealed how the structure of a nucleus relates to the force that holds it together. This ...

For nearly 50 years, physicists have dreamed of the secrets they could unlock by raising the energy state of an atom's nucleus using a laser. The achievement would allow today's atomic clocks to be ...
