The atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. All oxygen atoms have 8 protons and all sodium atoms have 11 protons. The nucleon number (or mass number) of an atom is the total ...

Iron has a mass number of 56 and is one of the most stable of all the elements. We say that iron has a high binding energy per nucleon. Elements with lower and higher mass numbers per nucleon are ...

In April 2006, the above classification scheme was presented by us during the first international conference and workshop named Genomic Impact of Eukaryotic Transposable Elements, which also ...

We expect the effect to be even stronger for elements heavier than carbon ... achieve without understanding the three-nucleon ...

In 1972, McKay was focused on finite groups—groups that have a finite number of elements. He observed that in many cases, you can deduce important information about a finite group by looking at ...

while fusion joins two light elements (with a low atomic mass number), forming a heavier element. In both cases, energy is freed because the mass of the remaining nucleus is smaller than the mass of ...

McClintock’s maize breeding experiments provided the first detailed descriptions of transposable elements. What exactly are these “jumping genes,” and why are they so important? As ...
