Fact of the week: Hydrogen-7 has a half life of 2.3×10−23 seconds.
The half life of an object is the time it takes for half of a radioactive element to decay.
Hydrogen-7 is an isotope of hydrogen, does not occur naturally in nature, and the element with the shortest known half life. The nucleus of hydrogen-7 consists of 1 proton and 6 neutrons.
This isotope was first synthesised in 2003 by a group of Russian, Japanese and French scientists.
