Island of stability
Island of stability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The island of stability is a term from nuclear physics that describes the possibility of elements with particularly stable “magic numbers” of protons and neutrons. This would allow certain isotopes of some transuranic elements to be far more stable than others, that is, decay much more slowly.
