Abstract
The study of nuclear limits has been performed and new physical mechanisms and exotic shapes allowing the extension of nuclear landscape beyond the commonly accepted boundaries have been established. The transition from ellipsoidal to toroidal shapes plays a critical role in potential extension of nuclear landscape to hyperheavy nuclei. Rotational excitations leading to the birth of particle (proton or neutron) bound rotational bands provide a mechanism for an extension of nuclear landscape beyond spin zero proton and neutron drip lines.
