- A recent study has found a particularly unusual isotope, nitrogen-9.
| Isotopes are atoms of a given element that vary only in the number of neutrons. |
- It was created by smashing beams of oxygen isotopes into beryllium atoms in the S. National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory.
- Atoms of the nitrogen-9 isotope are characterised by seven protons and two neutrons – which is an unusually high proton-to-neutron ratio.
- This disparity has a critical effect on the isotope’s stability, influencing its decay processes as well as overall behaviour.
