Billions of years of evolution have made modern cells incredibly complex. Inside cells are small compartments called organelles that perform specific functions essential for the cell's survival and operation. For instance, the nucleus stores genetic material, and mitochondria produce energy. Another essential part of a cell is the membrane that encloses it. Proteins embedded on the surface

Physicists have long understood that protons and neutrons, which make up atomic nuclei, are composed of quarks bound by gluons. However, reproducing the properties of atomic nuclei using only these subatomic components has been a challenge. Now, researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow, working with the international nCTEQ collaboration, have

An international research team, including scientists from the CNRS, the European Southern Observatory, and Charles University, has traced the origins of 70% of known meteorite falls to three asteroid families in the main asteroid belt. These families - Karin, Koronis, and Massalia - were formed by collisions occurring 5.8, 7.5, and around 40 million years ago. The new findings, which have identi
