Scientists Create Ultra-Rare Hydrogen-6 Isotope, Defying Nuclear Physics

For the first time, the extremely neutron-rich hydrogen isotope ⁶H has been produced and measured using an electron scattering experiment, revealing unexpectedly strong interactions between neutrons within the nucleus. Researchers from the A1 Collaboration at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), in partnership with scientists from China and Japan, have successfully […]
