contents Our understanding of the structure of atomic nuclei largely derives from the nuclear shell model, which has proven widely successful. Further test to our interpretation of the nuclear properties is provided by the study of shell evolution. Increasing experimental information has shown that the nuclear energy shells change when going towards the most exotic nuclei, in turn making some shell closures disappear while others arise. In particular, the $N=40$ sub-shell closure has been the subject of extensive research due to the emergence of a so-called Island of Inversion, where deformed intruder configurations dominate the wave function of the ground state. An overview of recent experimental results in the $N=40$ Island of Inversion, particularly those performed with the combination of the MINOS hydrogen target and the DALI2 $γ$-ray array at the RIBF are discussed.
