The “neutron skin” of the nucleus of a calcium-48 atom is much thinner than thought. An international team of nuclear physicists led by Dr. Gaute Hagen of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory used the Titan supercomputer to compute the neutron distribution and related observables of the atomic nucleus of calcium-48.
