Observations of the formation of light-nuclei from high-energy collisions may help in the hunt for dark matter.

Scientists discover that muscles repair themselves by moving thousands of internal nuclei, a rapid process that is key after ...

Some atomic nuclei are not shaped like rugby balls, as a longstanding theory suggests, but are instead somewhat flattened, like almonds, according to a new study by Japanese scientists. A team from ...

Figure 1: Isolated nuclei stiffen in response to force applied on nesprin-1. Figure 3: Emerin phosphorylation on Tyr 74 and Tyr 95 mediates the mechanical adaptation of isolated nuclei to force.

Genomes contain the complete library of information required to build and maintain a living organism—the figurative blueprints of life. In eukaryotes, genomes are stored in the nuclei, where they are ...

Artemis Spyrou receives funding from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration. When you hear the term “radioactive” you likely think “bad ...

Researchers at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, discovered that neutron-deficient gold nuclei display a shape-shifting mechanism similar to that observed in mercury and bismuth ...

Hybrid model A new description of nuclei combines the quark–gluon model of particle physics with the proton–neutron description of nuclear physics. In this artist’s impression, quarks are illustrated ...

Some fungi live up to 2,500 years thanks to an internal system that eliminates harmful cells and prevents genetic mutations.
