Transcription factors, the tiny proteins that switch genes on or off in the nucleus of cells, are considered unreachable molecular targets for drugs attempting to treat medical conditions. Overcoming ...

Colliding a heavy projectile with an even heavier target nucleus only occasionally produces superheavy elements. Analyses of the processes that prevent fusion suggest that projectile size is one of ...

"It is amazing that this large protein can penetrate into cancer cells and deliver iridium which can kill them." says Professor Peter Sadler from the Department of Chemistry at the University of ...

Incomplete fusion dynamics in heavy ion reactions represent a crucial facet of nuclear interaction processes, where only a fragment of the projectile amalgamates with the target nucleus while the ...
