Every time a eukaryotic cell divides, it faces a monumental challenge: It must carefully duplicate and divide its genetic material (chromosomes) equally, and then rebuild the nuclear envelope around ...

By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position without violating Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

Physicists have found a way to redistribute uncertainty in quantum measurements, paving the way for ultra-sensitive atom-scale sensors.

Growing evidence suggests that a subsurface ocean lurks beneath the icy surface of Uranus' moon Ariel, but new research, published in Icarus, characterizes the possible evolution of this ocean, and ...

Research led by a physicist at the University of California, Riverside, shows how viruses form protective shells, or capsids, around their genomes — a process that, while messy and complex, ...
