Isotonic (constant neutron number) systematics in the deformed rare-earth region have long suggested that nuclei with odd numbers of protons are more compact than their even-proton neighbors—except ...

The Universe between recombination (redshift z ≈ 1,000 or 400,000 years after the Big Bang) and the later formation of the first generation of stars at z≈ 30 to 12 (~100 to 300 million years after the ...
