In nuclear physics, "magic numbers" identify specific numbers of protons or neutrons that lead to especially stable nuclei.

The present state of our knowledge of the elements of atomic structure was reached, however, by the discovery of the atomic nucleus, which we owe to Rutherford, whose work on the radioactive ...
