Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments discovered gene fragments that indicated a new and previously undiscovered form ...

Just as cities must carefully manage the flow of cars in and out of downtown, cells regulate the movement of molecules into and out of the nucleus.

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton similar to that of complex organisms, such as animals and plants.

They have demonstrated that nuclear polarisation does not impede the study of muonic atoms. It clears a major obstacle that ...

University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear ...

Recordings of brain activity in budgerigars reveal sets of brain cells that represent different sounds like keys on a ...

Scientists have acquired direct evidence of rare, pulsing pear-shaped structures within atomic nuclei of the rare-earth element Gadolinium, thanks to new research.

Atomic nuclei with “magic numbers” of protons or neutrons in their nuclear shells are extremely stable. Nuclear physicists are especially interested in nuclei with doubly magic numbers—those that have ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

The film explores the structure and function of plant and animal cells using a microscope. It begins with observing onion cells, highlighting their components such as the cell wall, nucleus, and ...
