Nearly every object we interact with in our lives has a mass, but where does this mass come from? Modern physics says matter ...

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 ...

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

Researchers investigated how the η′ meson behaves inside atomic nuclei and found evidence that it may form bound states known as η′-mesic nuclei. Using high-energy particle experiments and ...

In hypernuclear experiments, scientists are looking at those instances in which an electron strikes a proton with enough energy to transform it into two new particles: a kaon and a lambda hyperon. The ...

Smashing uranium-238 ions together proves to be a reliable way of imaging their nuclei. High-energy collision experiments reveal nuclear shapes that are strongly elongated and have no symmetry around ...

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