Reaching the limits of nuclear stability
Abstract
The limits of nuclear stability have not been reached for most elements. Only for the lightest elements are the minimum and maximum number of neutrons necessary to form an isotope for a given element known. The current limits, novel features of nuclei at these limits as well as the future possibilities of pushing these limits even further will be discussed.
