The nuclei of adult cells, in contrast, have settled into a quiet middle age.
Helium nuclei have an electric charge, so they stay in the tight hug of the magnetic fields.
The conditions also create anti-quarks, which are the fundamental particles that make up the nuclei of anti-atoms.

Cosmic rays are fast moving subatomic particles and nuclei originating from space that crash into the atmosphere.
Instead of speeding atomic nuclei up, it slows them down, and turns the energy released into electricity.
Rabi was interested in the properties of atomic nuclei, not clocks, and he never pursued the idea.
When the gold nuclei smash into each other they are broken down into particles called quarks and gluons.
This will be reduced almost instantly to a soup of electrons and nuclei.
But it would help the study of atomic nuclei to know what the correct shape of the proton is.
Stars shine by nuclear fusion the merging of light atomic nuclei to release energy.
Such particles act as nuclei for the condensation of water vapour into the droplets of which clouds are composed.
Naturally formed embryonic nuclei have the advantage of being new to the world.
But the whole thing then breaks up into three helium nuclei, releasing a lot of energy at the same time.
The result of their game of nuclear billiards is, rather, to produce things smaller than the original boron three helium nuclei.
The energy released by the fusion reactions then heats the surrounding fuel, within which atomic nuclei may further begin to fuse.
Beryllium-10 can be produced in the Sun when highly energetic protons bombard the nuclei of other elements like carbon and oxygen.
The reaction Mr Lerner proposes would break up boron atoms by hitting them with protons (the nuclei of normal hydrogen atoms).
After they are produced, the quarks and anti-quarks then combine to create protons and neutrons, which themselves combine to produce atomic nuclei.

The equipment in the RHIC is able to detect exactly which particles and nuclei are produced, and they can do so quickly.

Unlike the sort of fusion done in big machines, which squeeze heavy hydrogen nuclei together, no neutrons are released in this reaction.
The reason is that the boron and hydrogen nuclei do, indeed, fuse.
Since the late 1950s, U.K. scientists have been attempting to achieve the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (tritum and deuterium) using magnetic confinement (MCF).
These aerosols, most of which come out of vehicle exhaust pipes, could increase rainfall by acting as the nuclei around which raindrops form.
Helium nuclei are positively charged and thus easier to rein in using an electric field, in order to strip them of their energy.
If proven, the technology could rival the current favoured technique for initiating fusion which uses superconducting magnets to contain and fuse the hydrogen nuclei.
They are made in exploding stars called supernovae, in which the energies are so high that nuclei get squashed together into otherwise unstable configurations.
Some of the genes migrate from the tungsten into the nuclei of the leaves' cells and are absorbed into the DNA that defines the plant.
It was generated at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York, US, which smashes beams of gold nuclei together at near light speeds.
When the capacitors are discharged, electrons flow through the gas, knocking the electrons away from the atomic nuclei and thus transforming it into a plasma.
The technique, which relies on stimulating atomic nuclei to give out radio waves, allows the positions of individual atoms in a molecule to be mapped.
ECONOMIST: This year, the Nobel authorities have shown a deft touch
