The binding energy of near proton-drip line Z = 22-28 isotopes has been determined from measured isotopic cross section distributions. The predicted binding energies were verified through the scaling phenomenon of mirror nuclei, confirming the reliability of the method.
Researchers from Wuhan University developed a new type of upconversion nanocrystal that can display full-color patterns and multiple encoding levels. The material has excellent upconversion fluorescence properties under near-infrared laser excitation, making it suitable for high-security anti-counterfeiting applications.
