Researchers discovered a new, watermelon-shaped isotope of astatine that decays by emitting a proton, a rare form of radioactive decay, providing insights into the structure and behavior of unstable nuclei and expanding understanding of atomic stability.
Physicists have discovered and characterized aluminum-20, a new isotope that decays via rare three-proton emission, providing new insights into nuclear structure and decay processes beyond the proton drip line.
Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have measured the decay of the heaviest nucleus emitting protons for the first time in nearly 30 years, identifying a new isotope of astatine (188At) and expanding understanding of nuclear structure and interactions.
