After mitosis, the nucleus must be rebuilt and chromatin decondensed to permit interphase genomic functions, but decondensation mechanisms are poorly understood. Now, the traditional cytoskeletal ...

A research collaboration has examined how the nucleus of nickel-64 reacts when exposed to energy. A new paper sheds light on the nature of atomic nuclei. Everything in the universe, from the largest ...

A new measurement of the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together, confirms previous hints of an uncomfortable truth: We still don’t have a solid theoretical grasp of even the ...

Nuclear energy is a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons. This source of energy can be produced in two ways: fission – when nuclei of atoms ...

A new paper sheds light on the nature of atomic nuclei. Everything in the universe, from the largest galaxies down to individual atoms, is governed by four fundamental forces, which together describe ...
