New spectroscopy method enables direct comparisons of nuclear sizes across heavy elements

The size of a nucleus (nuclear charge radius) is an important physical quantity that reflects the arrangement of protons and neutrons within the nucleus. Particularly in deformed nuclei, such as those of rare-earth elements, examining changes in the charge radius can deepen our u This story matters for Science & Discovery readers tracking insect.
