New experimental facilities are allowing researchers to create exotic
nuclei and explore their structure and role in stars, as Paul Stevenson
and Phil Walker explain

If they explain it, I'll be damned if I can see it.

I would really like to know if there is a theoretical limit to how
massive an atom can be while still being stable.
