However, foraminifera are eukaryotes, meaning they have a well-defined nucleus, which houses an organism's genetic ... an associate professor of chemistry and department chair at Stonehill College.

In the 1980s, the theory that dinosaurs were wiped out by a massive meteor that hit the Earth began to gain scientific ...

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

Why did they form at that time? Astronomers know from observing distant exploding stars that the size of the universe has ...

How an atomic nucleus can have two different shapes with only slightly different energy levels by Eric Gedenk, Michigan State University Facility for Rare Isotope Beams ...

An alchemical nuisance Once a lead nucleus has transformed by losing protons, it is no longer on the perfect orbit that keeps it circulating inside the vacuum beam pipe of the Large Hadron Collider.

The nucleus significantly stiffened within 4 h of chromatin decompaction but softened at longer timescales. This acute stiffening of the nucleus was underpinned predominantly by an increase in nucleus ...

Lead (Pb) is an environmental pollutant that has lasting effects on neurodevelopment. Children exhibit heightened sensitivity to Pb exposure compared to adults, and prenatal Pb exposure can harm the ...

Another antimatter record has been broken. In the smash-up of very energetic lead ions, researchers have uncovered evidence of the heaviest antimatter version of an atomic nucleus ever seen.

Record-breaking Rf-252: Researchers produce shortest-lived superheavy nucleus and measure its subsequent decay by Universitaet Mainz Editors' notes ...

Expansion microscopy (ExM) is a newly developed technology in recent years that enables nanoscale imaging under conventional microscopes. Herein, we report an aptamer-based ExM imaging strategy. A ...
