A key question in the physics of unstable nuclei is the knowledge of the $EOS$ for asymmetric nuclear matter ($ANM$) away from normal conditions. We recall that the symmetry energy at low densities has important effects on the neutron skin…
Everyday thousands of meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere. The vast majority burn up harmlessly during the descent, but the larger objects survive, occasionally experiencing intense fragmentation events, and reach the ground. These…
