For the first time, researchers from the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence have determined the charge radius of helium-3 and thus also the exact difference to the radius of helium-4. This precision allows conclusions to be drawn about fundamental natural constants and opens up new horizons in the search for previously unknown physics.
