Newly Detected Seaborgium-257 Offers Critical Data on Fission and Quantum Shell Effects
The discovery of 257Sg by GSI scientists reveals new insights into nuclear stability and introduces the first seaborgium K-isomer. These findings challenge established theories of fission and may guide future efforts in synthesising superheavy elements like 256Sg and beyond.
