A shell structure has a thin curved outer layer and is hollow. These structures often are used to hold or protect something. They usually have only a small number of joins or no joins at all.

A research team has used a machine learning approach to investigate the evolution of shell structure for nuclei far from the stability valley. The study, published in Physics Letters B and ...

It seems possible that such a shell may persist as a definite structure at moderate excitation of the nucleus, the excitation energy being shared by the nucleons not contained in the closed shell.

A research team from Taiyuan University of Technology and Zhejiang University has made headway in enhancing polypropylene (PP ...

A sea turtle's shell is a masterpiece. A study reveals that marine turtle shells combine flexibility and strength to protect against predators like sharks and stress while optimizing movement. This ...

And if you look really closely at the inside of a shell, you'd discover another feature that helps with hibernating underwater: a scaffold-like structure that can store and release chemicals.
