Article Synopsis
  • * The new mass data, with a precision around 1 keV/c², supports the robustness of the N=50 neutron shell closure and enables comparisons with advanced theoretical models for understanding nuclear properties.
  • * The study also highlights the challenges faced by theoretical approaches, like ab initio calculations and density functional theory, in accurately predicting ground-state properties in the silver isotopic chain near the proton dripline.

Developing new anticancer agents can be useful, with the ability to diagnose and treat cancer worldwide. Previously, we focused on examining the effects of nonoxidovanadium(IV) complexes on insulin mimetic and cytotoxicity activity. In this study, in addition to the cytotoxic activity, we evaluated their bioimaging properties.

A compact ion source combining electron impact and thermal ionization has been developed and commissioned in two Multiple-Reflection Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS) setups at the Fragment Separator Ion Catcher at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research, Darmstadt, Germany, and at TRIUMF's Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science at TRIUMF Canada's particle accelerator center, Vancouver, Canada. The ion source is notable for its compact dimensions of 50 mm in height and 68 mm in diameter. The ion source is currently in daily operation at both facilities.

New cobalt(II)-based complexes with [NO] coordination formed by two bis-chelate ligands were synthesized and characterized by a multi-technique approach. The complexes possess an easy-axis anisotropy (D<0) and magnetic measurements show a field-induced slow relaxation of magnetization. The spin-reversal barriers, i.
