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 ...

Scientists have found the first experimental evidence that an atomic nucleus can harbor bubbles. The unstable isotope silicon-34 has a bubblelike center with a paucity of protons, scientists report ...

Unusual filling of different sub-shells due to quantum confinement leads to a stable superatom that is also highly magnetic Industry uses magnetic materials in applications ranging from data storage ...

Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene has been recently discovered to exhibit superconductivity, which has inspired theoretical studies on integer fillings. However, studies of fractional filling are ...

(Nanowerk News) Industry uses magnetic materials in applications ranging from data storage and cell phones to motors and sensors. Researchers are always looking for new magnetic particles as the ...
