Nuclear physicists narrow down exotic properties in tellurium isotope

Researchers measured the lifetime of tellurium-115 to constrain a key ratio describing nuclear structure, resolving ambiguities in theoretical models. The finding advances understanding of nuclear forces and could inform applications in medical imaging and nuclear energy research.
