The nucleus is the compartment within each cell that contains the genetic information directing how the cell grows and behaves. Large cells generally have large nuclei, while smaller cells have ...

The nucleus is very small compared to the atom as a whole: as electrons are even smaller, most of an atom is empty space the diameter of a nucleus can be 100,000 times less than the diameter of an ...

The experiments showed that the neutrinos were at least 6.2 picometers, making them hundreds of times bigger than a typical atomic nucleus. Such a size increase is possible, the researchers note ...

Highly charged heavy ions form a very suitable experimental field for investigating quantum electrodynamics (QED), the ...

Elements with lower and higher mass numbers per nucleon are less stable. The total mass of a nucleus is less than the total mass of the nucleons that make up the nucleus. This difference is known ...
