Recent progress in experimental decay studies in the region of the doubly magic nucleus 78Ni is discussed. In particular new data on low-energy excitations in nickel isotopes has been obtained in experiments employing fragmentation reactions. The experimental data are confronted with different shell-model calculations. The position of the 2+ energy levels and behavior of 8+ isomers in even-even 70-76Ni isotopes has been interpreted.
