Physicists have studied a rare molecule to look at how magnetism is distributed within a radioactive nucleus for the first time. The rules of nature don’t, generally speaking, change. If you toss a ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

Physicists at MIT have developed a new way to probe inside an atom's nucleus, using the atom's own electrons as "messengers" within a molecule. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in cooperation with national and international research groups, have shown that DNA viruses infect cells and take over the host cell nucleus, ...

A team of scientists has uncovered the physical principles - a series of forces and hydrodynamic flows - that help ensure the proper functioning of life's blueprint. Its discovery provides new ...

Light microscope image of a bushy neuron in the cochlear nucleus, with a glass microelectrode for recording electrical activity inside the cell. The cell is about 12 micrometers in diameter. New ...

This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...
