Scientists Discover Mysterious Nuclear “Bump” Challenging Existing Physics Models
Scientists at the University of Jyväskylä’s Accelerator Laboratory have precisely measured the atomic masses of radioactive lanthanum isotopes, uncovering an unexpected anomaly in their nuclear binding energies. This discovery sheds light on the formation of elements heavier than iron and raises questions about nuclear structure. At the IGISOL facility, researchers produced short-lived, neutron-rich lanthanum isotopes, […]
