Doubly Magic nuclear physics answers fundamental questions about the universe
22 Jun 2012, 11:28 UTC
Research into the structure of extremely rare atomic nuclei, and how they decay, is providing the deepest insights yet into the formation of heavy elements that occur during explosions on the surface of stars. The research carried out by an international team of scientists at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany, represents a major milestone in current nuclear structure physics research, the results of which have been published in Nature, 20th June 2012.
