Scientists have created a doubly magic form of oxygen, a rare and exotic state of matter that defies a fundamental law of physics. The form, called oxygen-24, has 16 neutrons and 8 protons, arranged in perfect shells that make it extremely stable and spherical. The form also violates the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two identical fermions can occupy the same quantum state. #Oxygen24 #DoublyMagic #Physics
