Located at the neutron shell closure $N = 8$, the long-lived radioactive isotope $^{14}$C plays a critical role in geochronology and nuclear structure studies. Despite its widespread use, the nuclear charge radius of $^{14}$C has remained less precisely known compared to its stable counterpart $^{12}$C. Here, we report...
