Where has all the antimatter gone?
Scientists from the Universities of Liverpool and Glasgow have completed work on the inner heart of an experiment which seeks to find out what has happened to all the antimatter created at the start of the Universe. view more (2007-04-12)
Detector systems science and technology experts meet at University of Leicester
A prestigious international conference at the University of Leicester is set to further enhance the University’s standing as a world-leading centre in space science research. The University is hosting the Sixth International Conference on Position Sensitive Detectors (PSD6) between September 9 and September 13. These conferences were started... view more... (2002-09-04)
Burning oil cloud above northern Iraq
A burning oil pipeline in northern Iraq produced an immense cloud of black smoke that stretched across thousands of square kilometres, in this image acquired by Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer. The smoke cloud is visible in the centre of this image of the alluvial plain occupied by the valley of the river Tigris (flowing from... view more... (2003-09-12)
Prototype developed to detect dark matter
A team of researchers from the University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR) and the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS, in France) has developed a "scintillating bolometer", a device that the scientists will use in efforts to detect the dark matter of the Universe, and which has been tested at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory in Huesca, Spain. view more (2009-09-25)
New quantum key system combines speed, distance
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built a prototype high-speed quantum key distribution (QKD) system, based on a new detector system that achieves dramatically lower noise levels than similar systems. view more (2007-06-11)
Gene that magnetically labels cells shows potential as imaging tool
Mammalian cells can produce tiny magnetic nuggets after the introduction of a single gene from bacteria, scientists have found. The gene MagA could become a valuable tool for tracking cells' movement through the body via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), says Xiaoping Hu, PhD, professor of biomedical engineering at Emory University and the Georgia... view more...

Molecular imaging technology used in gastric cancer
Modern cancer care is critically dependent on imaging technologies, which are used to detect early tumors and guide their therapy or surgery. Molecular imaging technologies provide information about the functional or metabolic characteristics of malignancies, tumor stage and therapeutical response, and tumor recurrence; whereas conventional... view more...

Nano-sized Electronic Circuit Promises Bright View of Early Universe
A newly developed nano-sized electronic device is an important step toward helping astronomers see invisible light dating from the creation of the universe. This invisible light makes up 98% of the light emitted since the "big bang," and may provide insights into the earliest stages of star and galaxy formation almost 14 billion years... view more...

First acoustic metamaterial 'superlens' created by U. of I. researchers
A team of researchers at the University of Illinois has created the world's first acoustic "superlens," an innovation that could have practical implications for high-resolution ultrasound imaging, non-destructive structural testing of buildings and bridges, and novel underwater stealth technology. view more (2009-06-25)
NIST gears up to verify short range 3-D imaging
Three-dimensional imaging devices are becoming important measuring tools in the manufacturing, construction and transportation sectors. view more (2006-05-01)
Big magnet ready to face the big questions of the universe
The largest superconducting magnet ever built has successfully been powered up to its operating conditions at the first attempt. Called the Barrel Toroid because of its shape, this magnet is a vital part of ATLAS, one of the major particle detectors being prepared to take data at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the new particle accelerator... view more...

LLNL researchers create tool to monitor nuclear reactors
International inspectors may have a new tool in the form of an antineutrino detector, that could help them peer inside a working nuclear reactor. view more (2008-03-13)
Long-distance record -- 'Quantum keys' sent 200 kilometers
Particles of light serving as "quantum keys"-the latest in encryption technology-have been sent over a record-setting 200-kilometer fiber-optic link by researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), NTT Corp. in Japan, and Stanford University. view more (2007-06-04)
Tropical Soils Impede Landmine Detection
Use of a metal detector is the most common technique when searching for landmines, which litter the soil in approximately 90 countries around the world. Many of these countries are located in the tropics where intensively weathered soils are prevalent. view more (2008-02-07)
Medical imaging may help researchers understand the pathogenesis of H1N1 virus
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found that imaging can now be used as a tool for identifying severe cases of H1N1 and may play a key role in understanding the pathogenesis of the virus, possibly leading to earlier diagnoses of severe cases in the future. view more (2009-10-14)
Microscopic brain imaging in the palm of your hand
Researchers at Stanford University have demonstrated a promising, minimally invasive optical technique that can capture micron-scale images from deep in the brains of live subjects. view more (2005-08-25)
Do imaging findings imply malignant potential at multi-detector row computed tomography?
To date, more than 700 cases of SPTs have been reported in English literature. About 15% are known to present metastasis or recurrence. However, based on the conventional histopathology, it has been difficult to establish the criteria which could be suggestive of the aggressive behavior including recurrence and metastasis. view more (2009-02-23)
Chang'e-1 - new mission to Moon lifts off
A bold new mission to the Moon was launched today by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA). Chang'e-1 blasted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre, Sichuan, atop a Long March 3A rocket. view more (2007-10-25)
A potential new imaging agent for early diagnosis of most serious skin cancer
Scientists in Australia are reporting development and testing in laboratory animals of a potential new material for diagnosing malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. view more (2009-10-01)
New system for detection of single atoms
Scientists have devised a new technique for real-time detection of freely moving individual neutral atoms that is more than 99.7% accurate and sensitive enough to discern the arrival of a single atom in less than one-millionth of a second, about 20 times faster than the best previous methods. view more (2009-05-18)
