Radiacode – the world’s first series of pocket-sized radiation detectors and spectrometers, engineered for natural science enthusiasts.

If it’s been a while since you’ve taken a chemistry class, you’re lucky – over time, the periodic table has been expanding as physicists produce brand-new atomic nuclei. But the thing about these nuclei is they’re extremely short-lived, sticking around for less than a nanosecond. Recently, though, physicists say they’ve figured out a calculation that should help researchers create new nuclei that are much more stable. Let’s take a look.

Physicists are currently creating heavier atomic nuclei, which are typically short-lived. However, a long-standing prediction suggests that nuclei may become more stable at extreme masses, hinting at the existence of "magic numbers" for super-heavy elements. We're getting closer to the discovery of these stable, 'magic' nuclei, expanding our understanding of nuclear physics and element discovery. Receive SMS online on sms24.me
