science supports research on viruses such as Covid-19 A lot of action in the virus’s life cycle happens at the surfaces. Like a space ship docks onto a space station the virus has to hook onto the cell it ... like a sea mine, the proteins of the spikes dock onto the epithelial cells in the patient’s airways by binding a special enzyme (ACE2) ...

particle physicists have designed experiments over a wide range of energies. In the sub-eV range, the cold or ultra-cold neutrons produced at the ILL can tell us a great deal about the 'symmetry' characteristics ... structure and behaviour of nuclei by generating excited nuclear states. Although atomic nuclei have a finite number of constituents – ...

electron and the neutron act like tiny magnets; planets like the Earth, Jupiter and Saturn (and once upon a time Mars) have powerful magnetic fields generated by massive dynamos in their cores. Because of its ... the magnetic properties of materials at atomic level and even down to the nuclear level: it acts as a tiny compass exploring the inner ...
