A significant advancement in molecular engineering has produced a large, hollow spherical shell nanostructure through the self-assembly of peptides and metal ions, report researchers from Japan. This ...

A team of physicists and a virologist explains how large virus shells are formed. Their work can also be used also to explain how large spherical crystals form in nature. This understanding may help ...

Astronomers have discovered an unusually perfect spherical object within the Milky Way, puzzling researchers about its origin and evolution. Named Teleios—the ancient Greek word for “perfection”—this ...

Two new spumellarian radiolarian genera, Mendacastrum and Domuzdagia, are described from the lower Tithonian and lower Pliensbachian respectively. Both have a spherical cortical shell of actinommid ...
