The nonchromatin structure or matrix of the nucleus has been studied using an improved fractionation in concert with resinless section electron microscopy. The resinless sections show the nucleus of ...

Physicists generally regard an atom’s nucleus as immune to the tumult of the electron cloud that surrounds it. To excite the nucleus, electrons leaping between energy states would have to emit a ...

Ernest Rutherford, pioneer in studying the world inside atoms, famously remarked that all science is either physics or stamp collecting. But sometimes physics itself involves dutifully collecting the ...

A team of researchers has announced their observation and measurement of the decay of Xenon-124, the rarest ever recorded. It ...

Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...

Cancer cells with a cell nucleus that is easily deformed are more sensitive to drugs that damage DNA. These are the findings of a new study by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden.
