Nuclear symmetry energy is a fundamental quantity currently under intense investigation in both nuclear physics and astrophysics. The {\it softness} or {\it stiffness} of symmetry energy is still under debate and the extraction of symmetry…
In this contribution, I will discuss two topics related to the clustering of atomic nuclei. The first is dual character of the ground state. Recently, it was pointed out that the ground states of atomic nuclei have dual character of shell…
A series of findings in machine learning (ML) and decay theory are captured while exploring the role of deformation and preformation factors in {\alpha} decay. We provide a novel and practical paradigm for developing physics-driven machine…
Alpha clustering in nuclei is considered with the quartet model (QM) where four valence nucleons (the quartet) move on the top of the core (daughter) nucleus. In the QM approach, it is assumed that the intrinsic wave function of the quartet…

Quartetting ($\alpha$-like clustering) occurs in low density matter ($\le 0.03$ fm$^{-3}$) which exists, e.g., at the surface of nuclei. It is of interest for the $\alpha$ preformation to calculate the $\alpha$ decay of heavy nuclei such as…
Cluster radioactivity is the emission of a fragment heavier than $\alpha$ particle and lighter than mass 50. The range of clusters observed in experiments goes from $^{14}$C to $^{32}$Si while the heavy mass residue is always a nucleus in…
The possibility of the $^8$He and $^{9}$Li clusters in atomic nuclei is discussed. Until now most of the clusters in the conventional models have been limited to the closures of the three-dimensional harmonic oscillators, such as $^4$He,…
Three-nucleon interactions are a frontier in understanding and predicting the structure of strongly-interacting matter in laboratory nuclei and in the cosmos. We present results and discuss the status of first calculations with microscopic…
A clustering aspect is explained for the $^9$Be nucleus in charged-lepton deep inelastic scattering. Nuclear modifications of the structure function $F_2$ are studied by the ratio $R_{\rm EMC} = F_2^A /F_2^D$, where $A$ and $D$ are a…
