With 85 protons and 105 neutrons, 190astatine is the lightest isotope of astatine discovered yet, and could help physicists better understand the process of alpha decay, and the structure and limitations of atomic nuclei. “The studies of new nuclei are important for understanding the structure of atomic nuclei and the limits of known matter,” says physicist Henna Kokkonen of the University of Jyväskylä in Finland.

The link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and the body’s “second brain” is becoming clearer than ever before.
