Contrary to common belief, many nuclear physics processes and isotopes still need to be measured before a complete understanding of nuclear physics can be formed. Of over 7700 isotopes predicted to exist, only some 3000 isotopes have been measured so far. The majority of isotope measurements still missing are for nuclei that lie far away from the valley of stability. Such nuclei are called exotic nuclei. This seminar discusses exotic nuclear properties like drastic radius enhancement, neutron skins, two-proton radioactivity, double alpha decay, etc. Where do these properties come from and what we can learn from them about the nuclear structure?
