Positively charged centres of atoms (6)

I believe the answer is:

nuclei

(Other definitions for nuclei that I've seen before include "masses, at the core" , "More than one central part" , "Central pieces" , "Cores of atoms" , "Centres of atoms" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
