SUPERCOMPUTING — The real oxygen-23 .
. .
To really understand the mundane world we live in we must also
understand matter at the edge of the nuclear landscape.
Computational researchers have contributed to this understanding

misconception about how this isotope is put together. Their work is
discussed in a recent edition of the journal Physical Review C.
