Researchers in Japan have identified a striking new way immune cells strip DNA out of dying neighbors, a process they call ...

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...

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 ...

In work conducted at both UC Santa Barbara and the Physics of Life Excellence Cluster of TU Dresden, biophysicist Otger Campàs and his research group have found that cell nuclei control the ...

Powered by supermassive black holes swallowing matter in the centers of galaxies, active galactic nuclei are the most powerful compact steady sources of energy in the universe. The brightest active ...

Scientists are able to selectively knockout nucleons and preformed nuclear clusters from atomic nuclei using high-energy proton beams. In an experiment the existence of preformed helium nuclei at the ...

Novel calculations have enabled the study of nearly 700 isotopes between helium and iron, showing which nuclei can exist and which cannot. Scientists report how they simulated for the first time using ...
