“Researchers at the ISOLDE facility at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) have developed a measurement method based on a combination of an electrostatic trap and lasers, which may help to determine the chemical properties of the rarest and least known elements.”

University of Jyväskylä physicist Mikael Reponen is actively involved in this work as part of our ISOLDE project collaboration, underscoring HIP’s engagement in cutting-edge nuclear and atomic physics research.
