Mirror nuclei are pairs of atomic nuclei that have the same total number of nucleons (i.e., the same mass number) but differ in the numbers of protons and neutrons. In essence, one nucleus has more protons while the other has more neutrons. This difference allows for a unique comparison of the nuclear structure and the forces at play within the nuclei. For example, consider the pair of mirror nuclei: carbon-12 (^12C) and boron-12 (^12B).
