Nuclear stability is a crucial factor in understanding the behavior of stars. In a new study, researchers have found that the limits of nuclear stability may be pushed further than previously thought in stellar environments. The findings, published in the journal Nature, suggest that the stability of some atomic nuclei may be altered when they are exposed to the extreme conditions found in stellar environments. This could have implications for our understanding of the evolution of stars, and the origin of elements in the universe.
