In a groundbreaking new study, researchers in the United States managed to discover a trigger mechanism that is involved in controlling the structural integrity of the new cell's nucleus. If the cellular core does not pass the “quality check,” the entire division process is delayed.The previously-unk... |

Physicists in Japan have recently discovered an exotic form of carbon, one that features an extra-large halo nucleus. The central region of this atom is so large, that it even puts to shame the nuclei of heavier chemical elements such as copper and zinc. However, the new material does not exist in nature, as it was p... |

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have recently managed to develop a basic architectural model for the nuclear pore complex (NPC), often referred to as the “gatekeeper” of the cell. The basic sketch may help biologists and other researchers gain a better understanding of how ch... |

At long last, after decades of assiduous efforts, scientists were able to come up with a sound model for the movement of the atoms within a magnetic field, which could prove to be a key element in developing enhanced, less claustrophobic MRI devices. The finding, which could provide improved control of magnetic reson... |

Peter Moore, the current head of EA Sports, who recently commented on the state of PC gaming, is again talking about the future of games, this time focusing on the digital distribution model and on the way social gaming will be taking over from single player experience.The people from GamesIndustry caught up with Moo... |

Although on Earth helium gas is relatively rare and mostly extracted from natural gas deposits, in the universe helium is the second most abundant element after hydrogen. The U.S. Department of Energy Argonne National Laboratory have been successful recently in creating a helium-8 isotope, isolate it and measure its ... |

Launched in January 2005, the Deep Impact space probe was the first spacecraft ever to probe the interior of a comet's nucleus, by sending a impactor slamming right into it. Previous missions such as Giotto and Stardust were employed only to make fly-by passes through the vicinity of the nucleus of the comets th... |

If a clone organism has 100 % of the genes of an organism, 50 % should not be that difficult to obtain. 50 % of an organism's genes are found exactly in the sperm or eggs. Now American researchers have figured out how to clone sperm, in order to restore fertility in men with very low sperm counts.By inserting th... |

The term Big Bang nucleosynthesis refers to the creation of the first nuclei during the early phases of the universe, shortly after the Big Bang. It is generally believed that in the minutes and hours after the Big Bang itself, besides the normal hydrogen, the heavier isotopes deuterium (D) and tritium (T) and the l... |

Recently, scientists were able to polarize noble gases, (rare gases like Helium, Neon, Argon and Xenon) and to take MRI machine pictures of lungs that had inhaled these gases. A new technique can polarize other elements too, with even greater benefits to medical science. Spin polarization is the degree by which the ... |

Looks like "old games making a comeback" is taking proportions. The Wii and the Xbox 360 got their share of old arcade games (NEO-GEO games we used to find scattered all across the country back in the 90s), but Sony is keen on launching even more on their platform, the PS3, via the console's Internet service, Pl... |
