Innovative Laser Trap Captures Most Neutron-Rich Substance Made On Earth: Helium-8 (UT)
Posted in Mikropasaulis on 2008/01/31 | Leave a Comment »
US researchers have used a new and innovative method to create, trap and study the elusive helium-8 isotope. Helium-8, containing six neutrons and only two protons, is the most neutron rich substance we can create on Earth and until now, we have been unable to accurately characterize it. Through the use of a “laser trap”, [...]
