Combination of experiments and calculations allows examination of boron’s complicated dance
Argonne National LaboratoryIn a study that combines groundbreaking experimental work and theoretical calculations, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, in collaboration with scientists in Germany and Poland, have determined the nuclear geometry of two isotopes of boron. The result could help open a path to precise calculations of the structure of other nuclei that scientists could experimentally validate.
