Quantitative PET Imaging Finds Early Determination of Effectiveness of Cancer Treatment
With positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, seeing is believing: Evaluating a patient's response to chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) typically involves visual interpretation of scans of cancer tumors. view more (2007-10-24)
Early universe was liquid
Experiments at the worlds largest nuclear collider, RHIC, at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, USA reveal striking new features of the state of the early Universe. A large Danish research group is part of this endeavor with professor Jens J'¸rgen Gaardh'¸je as a member of the top leadership of the experiments. view more (2005-04-19)
The Lancet Oncology and The Lancet Infectious Diseases
THE LANCET ONCOLOGY THE TRUE COST OF A NUCLEAR DETERRENT This month’s editorial covers the recent leaked report from the US Department of Health and Disease Control, showing the patterns of nuclear fallout across the US resulting from Cold War testing. The editorial discusses the impact of these data on cancer incidence and the worldwide... view more... (2002-03-27)
Sandia, task force to study ways ocean and wastewater can be desalinized in California
Researchers from the National Nuclear Security Administration's Sandia National Laboratories, together with fellow members of the Joint Water Reuse & Desalination Task Force, in coming months will be studying the best ways to desalinize-and make potable-ocean water, subsurface brines, and wastewater. view more (2005-09-07)
Identifying the "Nuclear" in Nuclear Medicine as High Benefit
Say the word nuclear and it conjures up mistaken ideas about radiation, an invisible, odorless and intangible force that allows doctors to non-invasively see into the body. view more (2006-10-05)
NYU biologists identify gene that coordinates two cellular processes
A team of biologists at New York University's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics has uncovered a dual role for the gene mel-28. The gene plays a part in ensuring that chromosomes are divided properly during cell division and it is required for nuclear envelope function. view more (2006-09-06)
Study recommends development of standards for pediatric doses in nuclear medicine
Results of a recent survey of 13 pediatric hospitals in North America show a lack of universally applied standards for administering radiopharmaceutical doses to children undergoing nuclear medicine examinations, according to an article in the June issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2008-06-11)
Breast Cancer Treatment Heats Up
In the March Journal of Nuclear Medicine, researchers demonstrate that miniscule bioprobes could be produced and used with molecularly targeted therapeutic heat to kill malignant breast cancer cells—without damaging nearby healthy tissue. view more (2007-03-07)
Lamin A/C deficiency is 'unnerving'
Mutations in the nuclear intermediate filament lamin A/C (LMNA) gene are associated with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, but cause the disease by unknown mechanisms. Méjat et al. show that one mechanism involves the disruption of neuromuscular junctions. view more (2009-01-05)
Computational actinide chemistry: Are we there yet?
Ever since the Manhattan project in World War II, actinide chemistry has been essential for nuclear science and technology. view more (2007-08-22)
Weighing the financial risks of nuclear power plants
Enticed by the gleam of government subsidies, many companies are rushing to invest in nuclear power, expecting that new technology and safer reactors will make them as good an investment as other types of power plants. view more (2007-04-04)
Designer Isotopes Push the Frontier of Science
Designer labels have a lot of cachet, a principle that's equally true in fashion and physics. view more (2008-05-12)
Novel biomarker for prediction of survival in colorectal carcinomas revealed
Levels of a protein called thymidylate synthase (TS) within two separate compartments of a tumor cell-the nucleus and the cytoplasm-may be critical markers predicting survival in colorectal cancer, according to a study at Yale University School of Medicine. view more (2006-09-14)
Trade-offs reveal no clear favorites in alternative energy market
The nuclear power industry is riding the green wave back into public favor with its promise of a low-carbon solution to our growing energy needs. But even as the industry struggles to dictate what role nuclear can realistically play, it is bound by a global energy landscape-from solar to carbon sequestration-that is still predominantly shaped by... view more...

Research debunks myth of self-reliant nuclear family
Despite the long-cherished belief that the nuclear family is independent and self-sustaining, most families with working parents depend on a network of care to manage work and family demands, according to research by Brandeis University sociologist Karen Hansen. view more (2005-08-01)
PET Imaging Shows Young Smokers Quick Benefit of Quitting
The early stages of coronary artery disease in young smokers can be reversed quickly if they choose to put out their cigarettes for good, according to a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging study in the December Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2006-12-06)
Underground Nuclear Explosions Deteriorate The Ozone Layer
Russian scientists have found one more cause of depletion of the ozone layer. They think that abyssal gases can go to the surface and reach stratosphere, deteriorating the ozone shield. Underground nuclear explosions enforce this process. A geologist Boris Golubov of the Institute of Geosphere Dynamics RAS and a climatologist Grigoriy Kruchenitsky... view more... (2002-08-16)
Lasers spark new paths in radio-isotope transmutation - Scientific breakthrough in the transmutation of isotopes
Collaboration between the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) DG, the University of Jena (Germany), the University of Strathclyde (UK), Imperial College (UK), and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK) has led to the transmutation of long-lived radioactive iodine-129 into short-lived iodine-128 using very high intensity laser... view more...
