For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

In a surprising turn of events, an international team of scientists has found that lead-208 (208 Pb), the heaviest known "doubly magic" nucleus, exhibits unexpected shape characteristics that current ...

4 Murre hypothesized that when neutrophil precursors drop their NIPBL levels, large changes in DNA looping ensue, potentially triggering a cascade of events that warps the nucleus’ shape. To explore ...

For the first time, scientists have acquired direct evidence of rare, pulsing pear-shaped structures within atomic nuclei of ...

However, a new study published in Physical Review Letters used a high-precision experimental probe to examine its shape and found that rather than being perfectly spherical, the nucleus of lead ...

Animal cells often have an irregular shape. The four key components of most animal cells are: Nucleus - this contains the genetic material (DNA) of the organism and controls the cell’s activities.
