atomic nuclei are smashed together to reveal their shapes
Researchers at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (EAPEC) have discovered a new way to image the shapes of atomic nuclei through high-energy collisions. They used information from the debris to reconstruct nucleus’s shape. “I find it fascinating that it worked,” EAPEC researcher Magdalena Zieliska said, adding that other nuclear processes didn’t influence…
