Cancer cells grow in stiff environments, influencing nuclear mechanics and opening new treatment possibilities.

Nuclear DNA does not appear in free linear strands; it is highly condensed and wrapped around histones in order to fit inside of the nucleus and take part in the formation of chromosomes.

But this year, his team and two other groups managed to finally achieve what he and Tamm had proposed, generating the first tick of a clock based on tiny energy shifts inside an atomic nucleus.

in an unstable nucleus, a neutron can split into a positive proton and a negative electron. The proton remains inside the nucleus, but the electron is ejected at high speed. This is called beta decay.
