Fun With Neutrons
Ran across this on Google News Sci/Tech links:
Researchers at Michigan State University, US, have squeezed 29 neutrons into an atom of aluminum, bringing into doubt current theories which predicted that it would too unstable to exist.
Quite interesting. It sounds like a lot of fun and I’m sure that had I taken about six more years of college physics, I’d understand just what these results will tell us about the strong force and its relationship to the must sought Theory of Everything. However, I’d hate to have to be the guy who has to go in front of congress and explain how they’re not just making multi-billion dollar balloon animals out of nuclear particles.
