For Immediate Release

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Theoretical physicists from an international collaboration have successfully described the physics underpinning the structure of the heaviest oxygen isotope ever seen in the laboratory, oxygen-26. The theoretical results hold great promise for the understanding of nuclear forces in systems with many interacting protons and neutrons.
