Scientists Take a Major Step Toward Solving the Mystery of the Universe’s Rarest Isotopes

A new experiment using rare-isotope beams has provided new insight into the origin of proton-rich isotopes known as p-nuclei. Researchers have taken an important step toward solving one of astrophysics’ oldest isotope mysteries: where the rare proton-rich atomic species known as p-nuclei come from. The study was led by Artemis Tsantiri, who conducted the work [...]
