New Uranium Isotope
- Recently, while studying the atoms of heavy elements, physicists in Japan discovered a previously unknown isotope of uranium, with atomic number 92 and mass number 241, i.e. uranium-241.
- There is particular interest in ‘magic number’ nuclei containing number of protons or neutrons such that the resulting nucleus is highly stable.
- The team used time-of-flight mass spectrometry to estimate the mass of each nucleus depending on the time it took to reach a detector.
- Systematically measuring the mass of uranium and its neighbourhood elements yields essential nuclear information to understand the synthesis of such heavy ....
