Hello Forum,
This message announces some results from the last four years
since I discovered the shape of the iron nucleus. A static
nucleus is formed by stacking spheres. Here is a link to see the
Period Table of Nuclear Silhouettes:

Two papers were published in The Journal of Nuclear Physics:
March, 2019, "Magnetism from iron's nuclear structure" and
July, 2021, "Antiferromagnetism from the nucleus of Cr"
Here are the key rules for making elements:
Rule 1: There is a simple cubic lattice of protons and
neutrons at the core of each element that has a Z atomic
number that is greater than five.
Rule 2: Protons in the cube are far from each other as
if electrostatic repulsion is in effect.
Rule 3: The six faces of the cube are armored by
pyramids of protons and neutrons.
Rule 4: Protons outside of the cube tend to form lines
of protons as if electrostatic repulsion is not true
in all three dimensions.
Rule 5: There are 18 foundation elements upon which
the 91 incremental elements are built. The 18 foundation elements are:
carbon, oxygen, neon, phosphorus, argon, iron,
germanium, krypton, zirconium, xenon, cerium, hafnium,
tungsten, polonium, radon, uranium, mendelevium, and nihonium.
Rule 6: The shapes of elements do not depend on protons being
different from neutrons. Both are treated equally, as baryons,
to define the silhouettes and 3D shapes of each element.
Rule 7: Four sides of the cube have pyramids of the same
shape (axial symmetry), for foundation elements. The top
and bottom pyramids can have different sizes. All of the
side pyramids are equal in size and shape. Rotations of
pyramids do not need to be identical when positioned on
the four side faces of a cube.
See the rest of the rules in my book on Amazon:
"Charge distributions on the nuclei, Data set six: Fe to Ga"
Conclusion
The static nucleus theory has abundant evidence. Quarks
are not needed for this scale of objects. Chemistry and
magnetism are both related to nuclear charge distributions.
Quantum chromodynamics are not useful for those
practical topics. That is part of the discovery of a new
foundation of the theory of matter.
