Further commitment to sustainable power generation
A further £10M for research into renewable energy technologies Following the Government's "Energy Review" a further £10M is being put into research into renewable energy technology. The kind of work being invested in will include: Power distribution networks - ensuring a... view more (2002-05-31)

Einstein researchers' discover 'radiation-eating' fungi
Scientists have long assumed that fungi exist mainly to decompose matter into chemicals that other organisms can then use. But researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have found evidence that fungi possess a previously undiscovered talent with profound... view more (2007-05-23)

Context affects opinion about novel energy sources
Opinions people have about innovations are influenced by the context in which they form their opinion. For example, opinions about a novel energy source like biomass are influenced by thoughts regarding other energy sources.   view more (2007-07-13)

Fusion to play part in UK energy strategy
Fusion is one of the research areas picked out for energy investment from the UK government by the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee in its Report on Energy Research published yesterday. The report "Towards a non-carbon fuel economy: research, development and... view more (2003-04-04)

US committee recommends participation in the ITER project
The Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC) recommends in a recent report the return of the USA as a full partner to the international ITER cooperation, with an annual financial contribution to the project of 100 million US dollars. The ITER experimental fusion reactor is being jointly... view more (2002-09-24)

Energy crops take a roasting
A process used to roast coffee beans could give Britain's biomass a power boost, increasing the energy content of some of the UK's leading energy crops by up to 20 per cent.   view more (2008-05-22)

Energy subsidy is not always favourable
Dutch research has revealed that energy subsidies can delay the dissemination of new energy-saving technologies. Furthermore, companies do not always want to get rid of the old technology straightaway and therefore new ideas are confined to the top shelf for longer. Ph.D. student Peter Mulder... view more (2003-11-11)

Scientists unlock physical, chemical secrets of plutonium
Researchers at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, have unlocked some of the physical and chemical secrets of plutonium, an element known for its use in atomic weapons and power plant fuel. While the complex nuclear characteristics of plutonium are well-known, it has properties as a metal... view more (2007-03-29)

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Can Identify Effectiveness of Chemotherapy Early in High-Risk Breast Cancer Patients
The effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer can be evaluated earlier by using 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) imaging over other conventional imaging procedures, according to an article in the July issue of the Society of Nuclear Medicine's Journal of... view more (2005-07-27)

Carnegie Mellon professors question advice for nuclear attacks
In the current Fox television adventure series, "24," a terrorist explodes a small nuclear bomb in Los Angeles. In the May 2007 issue of the journal Health Physics, Carnegie Mellon researchers Keith Florig and Baruch Fischhoff offer simple, practical advice that ordinary citizens can use... view more (2007-04-11)

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)

Researchers distinguish waves from mine collapses from other seismic activities
Researchers have devised a technology that can distinguish mine collapses from other seismic activity.   view more (2008-07-11)

New particles get a mass boost
A sophisticated, new analysis has revealed that the next frontier in particle physics is farther away than once thought. New forms of matter not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics are most likely twice as massive as theorists had previously calculated, according to a just-published... view more (2007-10-02)

Radiation degrades nuclear waste-containing materials faster than expected
Minerals intended to entrap nuclear waste for hundreds of thousands of years may be susceptible to structural breakdown within 1,400 years, a team from the University of Cambridge and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reported today.   view more (2007-01-11)

Engineering researcher seeks answers to asteroid deflection
An Asteroid Deflection Research Center (ADRC) has been established on the Iowa State campus to bring researchers from around the world to develop asteroid deflection technologies. The center was signed into effect in April by the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost.   view more (2008-05-28)

Burning asteroids may play 'more important climate role than previously recognized'
Dust from asteroids entering the atmosphere may influence Earth's weather more than previously believed, researchers have found.   view more (2005-08-26)

Thermometer For Plasma
St. Petersburg researchers have designed an original thermometer for fast-moving electrons in thermonuclear reactors. The laser beam in this device is used to instantly determine the temperature of burning hot plasma, at frequencies required for precise diagnostics. This device is a further step... view more (2003-09-05)

Geologist troubleshoots silica problem at geothermal plants
In the debate over alternative energy resources, geothermal technology has received scant media attention. Advocates call it one of the cleanest, sustainable energy resources available. However, steep construction, equipment and drilling costs have prevented more widespread development of... view more (2007-03-14)

UniS Professor appointed to advise government Select Committee on energy efficiency
Professor Roland Clift, Director of the Centre for Environmental Strategy at the University of Surrey, has been appointed a Specialist Adviser to a sub-committee conducting an inquiry into the Government's policies on energy efficiency.   view more (2004-09-29)

University study shows low radiological risk to the public around atomic sites
A study team led by experts at the University of Southampton has found that there is no significant risk to the public from radioactive contamination from the Atomic Weapons Establishments at Aldermaston and Burghfield in West Berkshire. The three-year environmental radioactivity project, carried... view more (2002-08-07)

Why Are We Making Such A Meal Of Our Nuclear Waste?
Lord Oxburgh, President of the Geological Society of London [Note 1] and Chairman of the House of Lords Science & Technology Committee, will try to answer this question and propose a solution today in his final Presidential Address to the Society. You are invited to hear him speak at 1600 on... view more (2002-04-29)

Cannibalistic Stars hold clue to Big Bang
A team of UK astronomers announced this month the discovery of cannibalistic stars that explain one of the mysteries surrounding the Big Bang. The stars are almost as old as the Universe and they reveal what space was like in the very beginning. The team from the Open University found that a group... view more (2002-05-10)

Separating uranium from plutonium
Moscow researchers have made the supercritical carbon dioxide work. Saturated with special reagents, carbon dioxide first extracts uranium from the spent nuclear fuel waste, then extracts plutonium and then flies away into the atmosphere. As a matter of fact, the spent nuclear fuel consists of... view more (2003-08-08)

Media invitation - Shipshape - in war and peace
There can be few other signals of a nation's intent of action that match the dispatch of the Fleet. It is therefore vital that the Royal Navy is always ready to deploy and, if necessary, to defend Britain's interests, John Coles, Chief Executive of the Warship Support Agency will tell the Royal... view more (2003-03-26)

Rapid-fire pulse brings Sandia Z method closer to goal of high-yield fusion reactor
An electrical circuit that should carry enough power to produce the long-sought goal of controlled high-yield nuclear fusion and, equally important, do it every 10 seconds, has undergone extensive preliminary experiments and computer simulations at Sandia National Laboratories' Z machine facility.   view more (2007-04-26)
