A lopsided atomic nucleus may help to refine nuclear theory. The stubby pear shape, described today in Nature, may also be pointing towards new tests of particle physics that could reveal why matter ...
A hypernucleus is a bound system of nucleons with one or more strange baryons, called hyperons. Neutron stars can be regarded as the biggest hypernuclei. The presence of hyperons will soften the ...
Atomic nuclei come in many shapes and sizes, and scientists have now obtained precise measurements of an elusive form: pear-shaped. Studying these exotic nuclei, which are described in the May 9 ...

For the first time, physicists peer inside the nucleus of a molecule using electrons as a probe
A novel experiment has revealed a phenomenon called the Bohr–Weisskopf effect in a pear-shaped nucleus in a molecule for the ...
In chemistry and physics textbooks, the core, or nucleus, of atoms is almost always depicted as spherical in shape. In reality, atomic nuclei can be in a variety of shapes, such as flattened or ...
