Crompton Award helps student research the nearly-magic
PhD Student Aditya Babu wants to revisit one of the earliest puzzles of nuclear physics: why are some nuclei more stable than others? And every nuclear physicist knows it’s to do with magic. One of the earliest breakthroughs in this area was by trailblazing nuclear physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer, in 1948. She was studying especially stable nuclei that contain protons and/or neutrons (aka nucleons) in specific numbers,...
