From the evidence of karyomeres in animal cells, the nucleus is regarded as a compound structure, and it was further suggested that the spindle is also compound, the real unit in mitosis being a ...

An international research collaboration has overturned the long-standing belief that the atomic nucleus of lead-208 is perfectly spherical. The discovery challenges fundamental assumptions about ...

Physicists searching for “dark forces” unexpectedly discovered deformed atomic nuclei. When top research teams collaborate, ...

Red blood cells are disc-shaped cells with no nucleus. They are very small but their flattened shape gives a relatively large surface area which allows rapid diffusion of oxygen.

When world-leading teams join forces, new findings are bound to be made. This is what happened when quantum physicists from ...

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

The results confirmed the original anomaly, but thanks to new nuclear theory calculations from researchers at TU Darmstadt, ...

In the search for “dark forces”, physicists came across deformed nuclei. M. Door et al.: Probing new bosons and nuclear structure with ytterbium isotope shifts. Physical Review Letters Vol. 134, No. 6 ...

The international team also used the data to get direct information about the deformation of the atomic nucleus in ytterbium ...
