Physicists have made a breakthrough in the development of a nuclear clock, a new kind of ultraprecise clock that could ...

Nuclear fission has powered our world and medical advancements for decades. What exactly happens when an atom's nucleus splits into two parts?

As if searching for dark matter isn't difficult enough already, physicists may have detected another hurdle known as a ...

Mitochondria divide to share the load when nutrients are scarce — plus, how smashing atomic nuclei together helps identify their shapes.

Based on an experiment at CERN, a collaboration led by the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, can predict hitherto unchartered changes in the shape of nuclei.

Researchers have long been hunting for a way to make the elusive elements more stable so they can be better studied.

Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? An ...

The histone proteins of complex cells are named H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. They are assembled into groups of eight, around which a ...

Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? An international research team ...

The infinite possibility in a moment is familiar to anyone who enjoys torturing themselves over where life went awry. You know, anyone with regrets cycling forever in their mind. But what if those ...

revealing that atoms consisted of a positively charged nucleus separated by a significant empty space by their orbiting electrons. By the mid-20th century, scientists were aware of the basic structure ...

A method to take snapshots of exploding nuclei could hold clues about the fundamental properties of gold, uranium and other ...
