Publicerad 25 januari 2021 Sökandet efter den så kallade stabilitetsön fortsätter. Redan i slutet av 1960-talet lanserades teorier om en möjlig förekomst av supertunga grundämnen. Deras mest långlivade atomkärnor skulle kunna ge upphov till en så kallad ”stabilitetsö” långt bortom grundämnet uran. Men nu visar en studie, som letts av kärnfysiker vid Lunds universitet, att ett 50 år gammalt kärnfys
