However, as the positively charged protons repel each other, nuclei with too many protons are at risk of splitting — a challenge in the production of new, superheavy elements. Certain ...
Other areas of study are the creation of superheavy elements, and the application of radioactive substances in medicine. The semileptonic decay channels of the Λc baryon can give important ...
Nuclear physics is the study of the protons and neutrons at the centre of an atom and the interactions that hold them together in a space just a few femtometres (10-15 metres) across. Example ...
