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 ...

Using a new and first-of-its-kind precision measurement of the nucleus of the rare calcium-48 isotope, nuclear physicists have determined how its 20 protons and 28 neutrons are distributed inside its ...

Scientists around the world are being kept in suspense by the negligible mass of neutrinos, subatomic particles that could be matter and antimatter at the same time. Now, researchers have used one of ...

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 ...

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 ...

A heavy element has been confirmed by experiments with a particle collider in Europe and will take its rightful place as Element 117 in the periodic table, physicists say. At a collider in Germany, ...

Researchers at Korea’s Pusan National University developed a calcium-doped adsorbent that turns unwanted protons in acidic wastewater into agents for facilitating the removal of cesium ions (Cs +), a ...

“Magic numbers” of protons and neutrons can make an atomic nucleus exceptionally stable—and a new one has just been added to the existing menagerie that helps sketch a fuller picture of the ...

When plants are infected by pathogens, suffer from a lack of water or have to react to other external stimuli, the first thing they do is increase the proton and calcium concentration in the affected ...
