A new study in Physical Review Letters has used atomic clocks to study relativistic effects in interacting quantum systems.

For decades, scientists believed that lead-208 (²⁰⁸Pb), the heaviest known "doubly magic" nucleus, was perfectly spherical. New research, however, has shattered that assumption. An international team ...
