In nuclear physics, "magic numbers" identify specific numbers of protons or neutrons that lead to especially stable nuclei.

First, let's explore the atom's architecture. Formed from a cluster of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom, a nucleus is 10,000 times smaller than the atom as a whole, "like a fly in a ...

In turn, these results can be used to improve theoretical models, and lend strong support to the nuclear shell model. Science , 2012. DOI: 10.1126/science.1225636 ( About DOIs ).

The model successfully captures the unusual "double-humped" fragment mass distribution observed in mercury-180 and offers new insights into how nuclear shell effects influence fission ...

A five-dimensional (5D) Langevin approach developed by an international team of researchers, including members from Science Tokyo, accurately reproduces complex fission fragment distributions and ...
