Protons, the positively charged particles that help build every atom in our bodies, are starting to look less like classical ...

Using optogenetics, researchers have detected a new acid sensor in plant cells that is addressing a cell-internal calcium store. When plants are infected by pathogens, suffer from a lack of water or ...

Researchers from Michigan State University and the RIKEN Nishina Center in Japan discovered eight new rare isotopes of the elements phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, scandium and, most ...

July 12 (UPI) --Scientists have discovered eight new isotopes -- all of them the heaviest-known forms of their respective elements. Through experimentation at RIKEN's Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory ...

Physicists may have found a new “magic number” — a quantity of protons or neutrons that gives an atomic nucleus unusual stability. The most common magic numbers are two, eight, 20, 28, 50, 82 and 126; ...

We’ve reached the limit of a very successful way to make new elements in the lab. In new research, scientists unveil a new take on that technology and report its success. The heaviest elements could ...
