Three-pronged nuclear attack
A trio of security vulnerabilities surrounding the use of nuclear power are highlighted today in research papers online with Inderscience Publishers. view more (2007-07-26)
Nuclear Power Worldwide: Status and Outlook
Nuclear power's prominence as a major energy source will continue over the next several decades, according to new projections made by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has just published a new report, Energy, Electricity and Nuclear Power for the period up to 2030. view more (2007-10-24)
Nuclear Medicine Approach Can Be First Choice for Excluding Pulmonary Embolism in Young Women
Young women at risk of having a pulmonary embolism-a potential life-threatening blockage in a lung artery-should first undergo a ventilation/perfusion lung scan (V/Q scan) rather than a CT (computed tomography) angiogram. view more (2007-09-10)
Regulation of cell proliferation by the OGF-OGFr axis is dependent on nuclear localization signals
Researchers at The Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, Hershey, Pennsylvania have discovered that the efficacy of the Opioid Growth Factor (OGF, [Met5]-enkephalin), a clinically important antitumor agent, is dependent on nucleocytoplasmic translocation and reliant on the integrity of nuclear localization signals in the OGF receptor... view more...

MIT: Regional storage facilities could handle nuclear waste
The Bush administration is eagerly pushing nuclear power as a way to help solve the U.S. energy crisis. But in its new plan for nuclear waste management, the administration is taking the wrong approach, says an MIT professor who studies the nuclear energy industry. view more (2006-08-23)
Mitochondrial genes move to the nucleus
Why mitochondrial genes ditch their cushy haploid environs to take up residence in a large and chaotic nucleus has long stumped evolutionary biologists, but Indiana University Bloomington scientists report in this week's Science that they've uncovered an important clue in flowering plants. view more (2007-03-23)
'Grow your own electricity' says City University
A solid oxide fuel cell, placed in the domestic gas boiler, should generate electricity from the gas every time the boiler is activated. The electricity, if not used around the house, could then be sold back into the national grid - running the electricity meter backwards! view more (1998-11-10)
EU nuclear research key in the fight against cancer and illegal nuclear trafficking
A key player in the fight against cancer and illegal nuclear trafficking, the European Commission Joint Research Centre's Institute for Transuranium Elements (ITU) at Karlsruhe, Germany, today celebrates its 40th Anniversary. The ITU manages projects for nuclear research in fields such as radioactive waste management, nuclear forensics, radiation... view more... (2003-10-17)
Animal eggs not suitable substitutes to produce stem cells
Since the cloning of Dolly the Sheep over a decade ago, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been considered a promising way to generate human, patient-specific stem cells for therapeutic applications. view more (2009-02-03)
FDG-PET Imaging Clearly Predicts Lung Cancer Patients' Response to Chemotherapy
An earlier indication of whether chemotherapy benefits non-small cell lung cancer patients—provided by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging—can guide doctors in offering them better care, according to researchers in the May Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2007-05-10)
High calcium level in arteries may signal serious heart attack risk
Researchers may be able to predict future severe cardiac events in patients with known, stable coronary artery disease (CAD) using coronary calcium scoring, according to a study published in the online edition of Radiology. view more (2009-07-28)
Made-to-order isotopes hold promise on science's frontier
Designer labels have a lot of cachet - a principle that's equally true in fashion and physics. view more (2008-05-09)
Study tracks increasing use of CT on pregnant women
Researchers have found that over a 10-year period radiologic exams on pregnant women have more than doubled, according to a study published in the online edition of Radiology. view more (2009-03-17)
Think solar not nuclear for the energy of the future, say scientists
Solar rather than nuclear energy should be the UK government's priority in planning future energy production, according to scientists writing today in the journal Nature Materials. view more (2006-03-01)
New paradigm for cell-specific gene delivery
Researchers from Northwestern University and Texas A & M University have discovered a new way to limit gene transfer and expression to specific tissues in animals. view more (2008-06-23)
NRPB Emergency Data Handbook
NRPB has produced a new Emergency Data Handbook1, which updates and replaces both the previous Emergency Data Handbook published in 19862 and also NRPB publication DL103. The handbook provides a compilation of information intended for use by NRPB and other organisations involved in the response to a radiation emergency. Radiation emergencies... view more...

Purdue engineers create safer, more efficient nuclear fuel, model its performance
Purdue University nuclear engineers have developed an advanced nuclear fuel that could save millions of dollars annually by lasting longer and burning more efficiently than conventional fuels, and researchers also have created a mathematical model to further develop the technology. view more (2005-09-29)
Argonne's nuclear energy research moves toward greater reliance on computer simulation
The U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory is taking its nuclear energy research into new territory - virtual territory that is. view more (2007-11-27)
UCSD study of nuclear receptors could change anti-inflammatory treatments
Several nuclear receptor proteins appear to overlap in their ability to exert anti-inflammatory effects, according to new research by scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). view more (2005-09-09)
Using waste to recover waste uranium
Using bacteria and inositol phosphate, a chemical analogue of a cheap waste material from plants, researchers at Birmingham University have recovered uranium from the polluted waters from uranium mines. view more (2009-09-08)
