One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected breakdown of nuclear order in a remarkably symmetric atom, challenging long-standing ...

Active galactic nuclei, energetic and luminous regions powered by an accreting supermassive black hole at the center of some galaxies, can launch a jet that drives a gas outflow, shaping star ...

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 ...

A protocol is described for sequencing the transcriptome of a cell nucleus. Nuclei are isolated from specimens and sorted by FACS, cDNA libraries are constructed and RNA-seq is performed, followed by ...

Scientists have precisely measured two unstable atomic nuclei that play a crucial role in explosive X-ray bursts on neutron ...

Plans to deliver the first-ever precision measurements of some of the rarest and most unstable atomic nuclei could reshape our understanding of ...
