Researchers have found that titanium-48 changes from a shell model structure to an alpha-cluster structure depending on the distance from the center of the nucleus. The results upend the conventional ...

Nuclei are not always spherical — they can stretch and twist in subtle ways. This figure maps the relationship between modern shape parameters q 2 and η, and the classic Bohr parameters β and γ, ...

The nuclear structure of titanium-48 changes from a shell model structure to an α-cluster structure based on the distance from the center of the nucleus. The world around us is made up of particles ...
