Abstract
For many years one-proton radioactivity studies have been a powerful tool to investigate nuclear structure close to the proton drip line. In many cases, they are the only means to give access to structural information about unbound quantum states. In particular, these investigations can be performed with rather low-production rates. Selected examples from the wealth of experimental information and their theoretical understanding will be presented to demonstrate the potential of these investigations. Recently, two-proton radioactivity was discovered and opens a new window to study the properties of atomic nuclei even further away from nuclear stability. The potential of this new nuclear decay mode will be outlined as well. Finally, we present some information on other exotic decay modes at the proton drip line.
