In diagrams and illustrations of cells, DNA is sometimes shown as a mass in the cell's nucleus, like a bowl of ramen noodles. For many years, it's been standard practice to take images of cells that ...

Why do atomic nuclei, which should easily break apart, form more readily in extreme environments? This cosmic mystery, which ...

In the atmosphere, feldspar particles act as ice nuclei that make ice crystals grow in clouds and enable precipitation. The reason was found with the help of electron microscopy observations and ...

Crystal nucleation occurs in a medium (a solution, melt or vapour) that is supersaturated with respect to a crystal. In other words, the concentration of the material dissolved in the medium is higher ...

Scientists from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have recently discovered a non-classical nucleation process that can greatly facilitate ice formation on foreign surfaces.

The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...

Atmospheric researchers have discovered a mechanism that allows nuclei for ice clouds to form and rapidly grow in the upper troposphere. Although the conditions for nucleus formation are only ...

Approximate true color image of comet 67P taken by the Rosetta spacecraft's OSIRIS Narrow Angle Camera on March 17, 2015. This image is a four frame mosaic, with each color frame imaged through ...
