Nuclear physics: Island ahoy!

Mark A. Stoyer1

Top

Measurements of the energy levels of unstable superheavy nuclei are beginning to afford distant vistas of a promised land — 'the island of stability' beyond the bounds of the conventional periodic table.

For nearly 40 years, nuclear theorists have predicted the existence of an 'island of stability' in the upper reaches of the chart of nuclides (Fig. 1).
