Chromosomes are thread-like structures comprising DNA that are present inside the nucleus of every cell in the body. Specific segments of DNA are called genes. Every chromosome contains many genes, ...

A schematic diagram of proton and neutron distributions for mirror nuclei argon-31 and aluminum-31. Left side is the weakly bound proton-rich nucleus argon-31, which is predicted to exhibit a ...

There are 118 elements. Each element is unique by virtue of the different numbers of electrons, protons, and neutrons its atoms contain. Isotopes are atoms of a given element that vary only in the ...

A study led by EPFL shows that Urolithin A, a natural compound, can abolish high anxiety in rats by repairing mitochondrial function in their brain cells, specifically in the nucleus accumbens. The ...
