The recent search for a missing airliner in the Southern Indian Ocean has highlighted the gap between current standard “black box” pingers and the potential requirements of a deep ocean search. When the general location of an object, in this case a crashed airliner, is known basic pingers are adequate. But even when the actual entry point into the water is precisely known there are operational benefits...
Nuclear binding energy is the best measured property of the atomic nucleus, but no previous model of the nucleus has accurately explained the experimental data for small nuclei. Current models either get the general shape of the curve right but the magnitudes wrong, or get closer to the magnitudes but deviate from the shape of the curve. We derive a new model of the binding energies of atomic nuclei...
