Shape-Shifting Experiment Challenges Interpretation of How Cadmium Nuclei Move (IMAGE)
Caption
A new experiment probed the shape and motion of cadmium-106 and found more support for rotational motion than the textbook interpretation of vibrational motion. Color indicates radial distance to give an indication of the nuclear shape.
