Scientists Discover Extremely Neutron-Deficient Isotope Protactinium-210

Scientists discover extremely neutron-deficient isotope protactinium-210

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators have synthesized a new isotope—protactinium-210—for the first time. It is the most neutron-deficient isotope of protactinium synthesized to date. Their findings are published in Nature Communications.

Scientists build one of the rarest atoms on Earth

In a major scientific breakthrough, Chinese researchers have created a brand-new type of atomic nucleus never seen before—protactinium-210. This new isotope is the most neutron-deficient version of the element protactinium ever made, making it extremely rare and unstable. The discovery, published in Nature Communications, opens a new chapter in the study of nuclear physics and […] The post Scientists build one of the rarest atoms on Earth appear…

Scientists Unveil Newly Discovered Ultra Neutron-Deficient Isotope:

In a groundbreaking advancement in nuclear physics, researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with international experts, have successfully synthesized the isotope protactinium-210 for the first time. This newly-created isotope pushes the boundary of known matter by representing the most neutron-deficient form of protactinium ever observed. The discovery not only expands the nuclear lands…
