This month, we're looking inside the atom. A recent study uses a combination of techniques to probe the shapes that the orbitals of a nucleus can take, and finds some fascinating results. Tune in to find out more...

Featuring Janne Pakarinen (University of Jyväskylä, Finland) and Grigory Rogachev (Texas A&M University, USA and Editorial Board Member of Communications Physics)

Hosted by Ankita Anirban (Nature Reviews Physics) and Cristiano Matricardi (Nature communications)
