  2. Nuclear force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_force

    Comparison between the Nuclear Force and the Coulomb Force. a – residual strong force (nuclear force), rapidly decreases to insignificance at distances beyond about 2.5 fm, b – at distances less than ~ 0.7 fm between nucleons centres the nuclear force becomes repulsive, c – coulomb repulsion force between two protons (over 3 fm, force becomes the main), d – equilibrium position for ...

  3. Karyolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karyolysis

    Morphological characteristics of karyolysis and other forms of nuclear destruction. Karyolysis (from Greek κάρυον karyon— kernel, seed, or nucleus), and λύσις lysis from λύειν lyein, "to separate") is the complete dissolution of the chromatin of a dying cell due to the enzymatic degradation by endonucleases. The whole cell ...

  4. Cytoskeleton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytoskeleton

    The cytoskeleton consists of (a) microtubules, (b) microfilaments, and (c) intermediate filaments. [1] The cytoskeleton is a complex, dynamic network of interlinking protein filaments present in the cytoplasm of all cells, including those of bacteria and archaea. [2] In eukaryotes, it extends from the cell nucleus to the cell membrane and is ...

  5. Radioactive decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay

    The electrostatic force is almost always significant, and, in the case of beta decay, the weak nuclear force is also involved. The combined effects of these forces produces a number of different phenomena in which energy may be released by rearrangement of particles in the nucleus, or else the change of one type of particle into others.

  6. Alpha decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_decay

    Nuclear physics. Alpha decay or α-decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and thereby transforms or "decays" into a different atomic nucleus, with a mass number that is reduced by four and an atomic number that is reduced by two. An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a ...

  7. Nuclear bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_bodies

    While biomolecular condensate is a term often used interchangeably with nuclear bodies, the term "condensates" implies the thermodynamic properties of the body are known [5]. Thus, nuclear body (and sometimes nuclear compartment) is a term that is more general and encompasses structures where either the biophysical property is not a condensate ...

  8. Fundamental interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction

    The strong interaction, or strong nuclear force, is the most complicated interaction, mainly because of the way it varies with distance. The nuclear force is powerfully attractive between nucleons at distances of about 1 femtometre (fm, or 10 −15 metres), but it rapidly decreases to insignificance at distances beyond about 2.5 fm. At ...

  9. Biomechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomechanics

    Biomechanics is the study of the structure, function and motion of the mechanical aspects of biological systems, at any level from whole organisms to organs, cells and cell organelles, [1] using the methods of mechanics. [2] Biomechanics is a branch of biophysics. Today computational mechanics goes far beyond pure mechanics, and involves other ...
