The cell nucleus is considered to be the control center of vital cellular processes, but its material properties continue to puzzle scientists. An international research team has now developed a new ...

Nuclear physicists used a little magic in their latest experiment conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas ...

Michigan State University's Witold Nazarewicz has a simple way to describe the complex work he does at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB. "I study theoretical nuclear physics," said ...

Astronomers have revealed that a well-known, nearby galaxy has a rare double-nucleus structure. The so-called "Cocoon Galaxy" not only has a unique shape, it has a rare double-nucleus structure, ...

The structure of a neutron or a proton is modified when the particle is bound in an atomic nucleus. Experimental data suggest an explanation for this phenomenon that could have broad implications for ...

Using a new CRISPR-based technique, researchers are examining how the position of DNA within the nucleus affects gene expression and cell function. The nucleus of a cell has something in common with a ...

Different as the cells from animals, plants, fungi and protozoa can be, they all share one prominent feature: a nucleus. They have other organelles, too, like the energy-producing mitochondria, but ...

Using advanced microscopy techniques and computational modeling, researchers have discovered how herpesvirus infection affects the host-cell nucleus. Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä ...

The world’s first nuclear clocks have ticked. A team of physicists has demonstrated a ...
