Researchers offer proof-of-concept for Altered Nuclear Transfer
The theory, called altered nuclear transfer (ANT), proposes that researchers first create genetically altered embryos that are unable to implant in a uterus, and then extract stem cells from these embryos. view more (2005-10-17)
Watchdog rejects plan to recover nuclear gas
EMBARGOED UNTIL WEDNESDAY 9 OCTOBER 2002 19:00 BST UK CONTACT - Claire Bowles, New Scientist Press Office, London: Tel: +44(0)20 7331 2751 or email claire.bowles@rbi.co.uk BRITAIN`s Environment Agency plans to allow emissions of a radioactive gas from the Sellafield nuclear complex in Cumbria to rise threefold. In recommendations to health and... view more... (2002-10-09)
Finding the ZIP-code for gene therapy: Scientists imitate viruses to deliver therapeutic genes
A research report featured on the cover of the September 2009 print issue of The FASEB Journal describes how Australian scientists developed a new gene therapy vector that uses the same machinery that viruses use to transport their cargo into our cells. view more (2009-08-31)
Study details catastrophic impact of nuclear attack on U.S. cities
A new study by researchers at the Center for Mass Destruction Defense (CMADD) at the University of Georgia details the catastrophic impact a nuclear attack would have on American cities. view more (2007-03-21)
Ceramic, heal thyself
A new computer simulation has revealed a self-healing behavior in a common ceramic that may lead to development of radiation-resistant materials for nuclear power plants and waste storage. view more (2008-04-21)
Hotter than expected neutron star surfaces help explain superburst frequency
A new theoretical thermometer built from heavy-duty mathematics and computer code suggests that the surfaces of certain neutron stars run significantly hotter than previously expected. Hot enough, in fact, to at least partially answer an open question in astrophysics — how to explain the observed frequency of ultra-violent explosions known... view more... (2007-04-16)
Research breakthrough pinpoints aim of ion beams fired at cancer tumors
Nonsurgical cancer therapy that destroys tumors but leaves healthy surrounding tissue intact could be available at every hospital if research reported this week in the journal Nature eventually comes to fruition. view more (2006-01-26)
Heat therapy for cancer may be key to 'Lance Armstrong Effect'
Experts at Johns Hopkins have linked scientific evidence spanning more than 30 years to suggest an explanation for why testicular cancer patients like seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong survive far better than patients with other advanced cancers. view more (2006-07-26)
Are Anxiety Disorders All in the Mind?
Using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), researchers in The Netherlands were able to detect biochemical differences in the brains of individuals with generalized social anxiety disorder (also known as social phobia), providing evidence of a long-suspected biological cause for the dysfunction. view more (2008-05-13)
PET and Bioluminescent Imaging Aid Evaluation of Stem Cells' Potential for New Ways to Treat Disease
Using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with bioluminescence-the light produced by a chemical reaction within an organism-researchers are starting to understand the behavior of transplanted or implanted stem cells that may one day be used to develop new treatments for disease. view more (2007-12-07)
New therapy protects lungs from runaway inflammation
A novel anti-inflammatory therapy designed by Vanderbilt University Medical Center investigators prevents acute lung injury in mice exposed to an inflammation-causing toxin, the researchers report in the journal Molecular Therapy. view more (2009-03-12)
Nuclear science for food security
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) today called for increased investment in a plant breeding technique that could bolster efforts aimed at pulling millions of people out of the hunger trap. view more (2008-12-02)
Discredited Korean embryonic stem cells' true origins revealed
A report from researchers at Children's Hospital Boston and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute sheds new light on a now-discredited Korean embryonic stem cell line, setting the historical record straight and also establishing a much-needed set of standards for characterizing human embryonic stem cells. view more (2007-08-03)
Americium Travels Along The Rivers
The Moscow radiochemists have developed and applied in practice new methods for analysis of transuranium elements in the environment objects. With the help of the most up-to-date techniques, they have investigated in detail the americium and plutonium migration paths in water and soils of some regions in Siberia and Southern Ural which are in... view more...

Human albumin from tobacco plants
Human serum albumin (HSA) is the intravenous protein most commonly used in the world for therapeutic ends. view more (2006-03-27)
Mobil Technology Company Launches Contracted Research in Russian Nuclear City
VNIITF is located in Snezhinsk, Russia - the nuclear city formerly known as Chelyabinsk-70. The new agreement addresses the modelling of oil flow in porous media, and will provide Mobil Technology with sophisticated new mathematical solvers used in oil well optimisation. view more (1999-10-13)
When every photon counts
The eyes of nocturnal mammals have very large numbers of highly-sensitive rod photoreceptors (the cell type responsible for night vision). They have to perceive light which is less than a millionth of the intensity of daylight. view more (2009-04-17)
Fusing imaging technologies creates 'synergy,' helps diagnose heart disease accurately
To fight heart disease, you have to get to the "heart of the problem" by diagnosing it more accurately. Researchers did just that, releasing their findings at SNM's 54th Annual Meeting June 2-6 in Washington, D.C. SNM is the world's largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals. view more (2007-06-04)
New tooth enamel dating technique
The radioactive carbon-14 produced by above-ground nuclear testing in the 1950s and 1960s is providing forensic scientists with a more precise way to determine a person's age at the time of death. view more (2005-09-15)
Star light, star bright: FSU facility duplicating conditions of supernovas
How is matter created? What happens when stars die? Is the universe shrinking, or is it expanding? For decades, scientists have been looking for answers to such "big picture" questions. view more (2007-08-15)
