   Lithium-8 ($^8\text{Li}$)
   Lithium-8 is an extremely neutron-rich isotope with a half-life of $839.9 \text{ ms}$. Its decay mode is predominantly beta decay, releasing an electron and an antineutrino. The structure of $^8\text{Li}$ is of particular interest because it is believed to briefly adopt a "cluster state" structure where the nucleus momentarily resembles a core of Helium-4 or…
