Abstract
Reaching the limits of nuclear stability offers unique opportunities to understand basic nuclear properties. New shell structures close to the driplines can change the existence of neutron-rich nuclei. A new search for 16Be confirmed the previous limit for particle stable Be isotopes at A=14. Single proton knock-out reactions offer the potential for more sensitive searches of very weakly bound nuclei. In order to extend the knowledge of the neutron dripline beyond Z=8 requires new accelerator developments. The proposed new rare isotope accelerator has the potential to push the limit of the neutron dripline to at least Z=25.
