The challenge was to extend the studies along the entire chain of isotopes down to the short-lived isotopes as far as 177Hg, i.e. to half-lives of just the blink of an eye. To be able to measure this, the [...] it possible to answer the two previously unanswered questions: Does this jumping from one nuclear shape to another continue at lower mass numbers?

The phenomenon was traced to changes of the nuclear shape as a function of mass number A, namely back and forth from slightly oblate to the shape of a rugby ball. This striking behavior
