Findings in nuclear physics theory have received several Nobel Prizes (1975-nucleus vibrations and rotations, 1963-nuclear shell model, 1949-meson exchange model of nuclear forces). Despite these ...

Using computer simulations, chemists have discovered how nuclear bodies called nucleoli interact with chromosomes in the nucleus, and how those interactions help the nucleoli exist as stable droplets ...

Nuclear isomers are crucial probes for studying the structure of nuclei. Unlike chemical isomers—which have the same chemical formula but different arrangements of atoms—nuclear isomers are nuclei ...

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 the Nucleus The electrons in an atom tend to occupy distinct shells. What about particles in the nucleus? The "magic numbers" of the isotope chart suggest that they also have a shell ...

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