Results suggests titanium-48’s nuclear structure changes when observed at varying distances

Posted in particle physics

The world around us is made up of particles invisible to the naked eye, but physicists continue to gain insights into this mysterious realm. Findings published in Physical Review C by Osaka Metropolitan University researchers show that the nuclear structure of an atom likely changes depending on the distance the protons and neutrons are from the center of the nucleus.

  1. First you said it changes when observed from different distances implying some kind of quantum effect. But then you said it changes depending on the distance the protons and neutrons are from center of nucleolus. That is very different and somewhat misleading.
