Adding to the growing fundamental understanding of the machinery of muscle cells, a group of biophysicists describe -- in minute detail -- how actin filaments are stabilized at one of their ends to ...

Scientists have been studying the behavior of iron oxide surfaces. The atomic structure of iron oxide, which had been assumed to be well-established, turned out to be wrong. The behavior of iron oxide ...

In the mid-1950s, Cambridge, England, was full of young and keen science-minded people; the structure of DNA had been discovered there just a couple of years earlier. But even in that world of intense ...

Many heavy atomic nuclei are shaped more or less like squashed rugby balls than fully inflated ones, according to a ...
