Radiacode – the world’s first series of pocket-sized radiation detectors and spectrometers, engineered for natural science enthusiasts. If it’s been a while since you’ve taken a chemistry class, you’re lucky – over time, the periodic table has been expanding as physicists produce brand-new atomic nuclei. But the thing about these nuclei is they’re extremely short-lived, sticking around for less than a nanosecond. Recently, though, physicists say they’ve figured out a calculation that should help researchers create new nuclei that are much more stable. Let’s take a look.
