In a study published in Physical Review C, researchers used machine learning-assisted analysis to determine the unique quantum energy levels—a “fingerprint” formed through the rearrangement of the protons and neutrons—in the nucleus of sulfur-38.
In a study published in the American Physical Society, the superallowed α decay chain 108Xe-104Te-100Sn into the self-conjugate doubly magic 100Sn nucleus was observed.
