Physicists Unravel Mystery of Mercury’s Bizarre Nuclear Fission

Science & Nature A five-dimensional model has successfully predicted the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, offering new insights into nuclear fission processes beyond the well-studied elements uranium and plutonium. A five-dimensional (5D) Langevin model developed by an international team of researchers, including scientists from Science Tokyo, has accurately reproduced complex fission fragment distributions and kinetic energies in medium-mass …
