    Over a decade ago, the first experimental evidence for the N=32 sub shell closure in the calcium isotopic chain emerged [1,2]. Subsequent experimental and theoretical investigations have confirmed this finding. However, in laser spectroscopy measurements extending up to $^{52}$Ca (N=32), no indications of this shell gap were apparent [3]. Crossing the shell gap with laser spectroscopy setups...

    Colour centers in diamond have currently found applications in quantum devices, in particular the nitrogen-vacancy center NV, which is being used as a nanoscale sensor for magnetic fields or temperature. Group-IV vacancy centers are, thanks to their symmetry properties (due to the so-called split-vacancy configuration), of great interest as spin-photon interfaces for a number of quantum...

    β detected NMR is a method that allows investigations of short-lived isotopes with a precision inaccessible to conventional NMR. This increased sensitivity is gained by combining hyperpolarisation of the nuclear spin generated through optical pumping with an efficient detection of the asymmetrically emitted β-particles from the decaying isotopes. One of the isotopes scheduled to be...

    The research on Burnable Absorbers (BA) inside nuclear power plants has demonstrated that erbium is a viable alternative to gadolinium. Erbium enhances the safety of fission power plants and plays a significant role in nuclear astrophysics, particularly in s-process nucleosynthesis. However, the evaluated uncertainty data for erbium isotopes remain relatively high. To address this, an...

    Neutron capture cross sections of $^{64}$Ni is an important parameter to accurately simulate the s-process and validate stellar models. As $^{64}$Ni is among the seeds of the s-process, the uncertainty on its capture cross section has been shown to significantly affect the predicted abundances of many isotopes produced by the s-process both in massive and AGB stars. Moreover, the uncertain...

    A wealth of theoretical models, both phenomenological and from first principles, have been developed in order to predict the various properties of the atomic nucleus. In order to test modern nuclear theory, experimentalists need to push towards the most exotic nuclei for benchmarking these predictions.
