Precision spectroscopy and laser-cooling scheme of a radium-containing molecule
Molecules containing heavy radioactive nuclei are predicted to be extremely sensitive to violations of the fundamental symmetries of nature. The nuclear octupole deformation of certain radium isotopes massivel...

Nuclear moments of indium isotopes reveal abrupt change at magic number 82
In spite of the high-density and strongly correlated nature of the atomic nucleus, experimental and theoretical evidence suggests that around particular ‘magic’ numbers of nucleons, nuclear properties are gove...

Open AccessCharge radii of exotic potassium isotopes challenge nuclear theory and the magic character of N = 32
Nuclear charge radii are sensitive probes of different aspects of the nucleon–nucleon interaction and the bulk properties of nuclear matter, providing a stringent test and challenge for nuclear theory. Experim...

Open AccessMeasurement and microscopic description of odd–even staggering of charge radii of exotic copper isotopes
Nuclear charge radii globally scale with atomic mass number A as A1∕3, and isotopes with an odd number of neutrons are usually slightly smaller in size than their even-neutron neighbours. This odd–even staggering...
