To understand these bizarre observations, physicists proposed the "nuclear shell model," which draws parallels with the electronic shells used to explain the chemical behavior of atoms. "The idea was ...

Abstract: Nuclear science fundamentally explores the formation of protons and neutrons from elementary particles and the interactions between them. One successful model describing this is the nuclear ...
