AI Model Predicts Decay of Superheavy Atomic Nuclei With High Accuracy, Reveals Clues to Nuclear Stability
- Researchers developed a random forest AI model to predict decay modes and half-lives of superheavy nuclei
- Model achieved 96.9% accuracy in predicting dominant decay mode of studied nuclei
- Predicted existence of long-lived spontaneous fission island southwest of element 298 Fl
- Findings provide novel insights into decay processes and stability of superheavy elements
- Suggested new measurements to refine predictions and advance nuclear physics research
