The atomic nucleus can adopt a variety of shapes, and instances where a single nucleus exhibits multiple shape profiles are termed shape coexistence. Here, using a combined experimental and theoretical analysis, the authors claim a rare case of shape coexistence between two states with the same spin/parity quantum numbers in the neutron-rich isotope 70Co.
