"Using first-principle calculations run on Titan, we confirmed that a very exotic nucleus about which little is known, nickel-78, is doubly magic," said theoretical physicist Gaute Hagen, who ...
Like everything we see in the world, isotopes are a type of atom, the smallest unit of matter that retains all the chemical properties of an element. Isotopes are forms of a chemical element with ...
From airport security to quantum computing, Oak Ridge National Laboratory produces isotopes vital to U.S. success.
Theoretical physicists recently used Titan, America’s most powerful supercomputer, to compute the nuclear structure of nickel-78 and found that this neutron-rich nucleus is indeed doubly magic. For ...
