Automated analyzer for complex nuclear waste provides rapid results
Identifying and quantifying specific alpha- and beta-emitting radionuclides in liquid solutions can be challenging and time consuming - typically taking from days to weeks to get results back from an analytical laboratory. view more (2007-03-29)
Supercomputers help physicists understand a force of nature
What if the tiniest components of matter were somehow different from the way they exist now, perhaps only slightly different or maybe a lot? What if they had been different from the moment the universe began in the big bang? Would matter as we know it be the same? Would humans even exist? view more (2006-07-12)
PET/CT Imaging Proves Golden for Detecting Cancer in Children
PET/CT imaging exhibits significantly higher sensitivity, specificity and accuracy than conventional imaging when it comes to detecting malignant tumors in children. view more (2007-12-13)
University of Cambridge and BNFL join forces on Research into Nuclear Waste Immobilisation
A new £1.2 million research collaboration has been launched in a venture between BNFL and the University of Cambridge. view more (2001-12-18)
New knowledge about plutonium calms scientists
New analyses from KTH in Stockholm are creating order in the uncertainty that has prevailed for the last four years about how plutonium dioxide, one of the most important radioactive compounds in nuclear waste, behaves when it comes into contact with water. The findings are being published in the latest issue of Nature Materials. In January 2000... view more... (2004-03-19)
Argonne scientists develop way to predict properties of light nuclei
Scientists have spent 70 years trying to predict the properties of nuclei, but have had to settle for approximate models because computational techniques were not equal to the task. view more (2008-05-22)
Nuclear Research helps Safeguard our future: Fighting illegal nuclear trafficking & Passing on Expertise to Future Generations Of Scientists - Press Event 16-17/10/2003, Karlsruhe, Germany
The European Commission's Joint Research Centre plays a key role in detecting, fingerprinting, and tracking down nuclear materials across Europe - and beyond. It therefore contributes to the fight against nuclear smuggling and nuclear prolifera-tion, in co-operation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). But the JRC also manages... view more... (2003-09-30)
Researchers move closer to switching nuclear isomer decay on and off
Livermore researchers have moved one step closer to being able to turn on and off the decay of a nuclear isomer. view more (2007-04-06)
New Skin Cancer Patch: Possible Alternative to Surgery
A new study shows that a radioactive skin patch can safely and successfully treat basal cell carcinoma, one of the most common types of skin cancers. view more (2009-06-16)
Safety risk for tritium pollution worse than we thought
NUCLEAR regulators have miscalculated the health risks from one of the world`s most widespread nuclear pollutants. People are twice as likely as previously thought to develop cancer after being exposed to tritium spread in hydrogen bomb tests and discharged by nuclear plants and factories. The risks... view more... (2002-05-29)
Patients Need To Know that Nuclear Medicine Procedures Can Trigger Radiation Alarms
Twenty million nuclear medicine procedures that detect and evaluate heart disease, brain disorders and cancer-and that use radiopharmaceuticals to treat overactive thyroids and some cancers-are performed each year. view more (2007-12-07)
Sources of energy for the EFDA-JET nuclear fusion experimental reactor
JEMA, the company based in Lasarte in the Basque Country, has recently put into operation the two energy supply plants designed and manufactured for the European EFDA (the European Fusion Development Agreement)-JET nuclear fusion experimental reactor at Culham in the United Kingdom. This reactor is one of the plants on which ITER, the largest... view more... (2004-02-19)
Can you get cancer from flying?
Air personnel may be exposed to a higher dose of radiation than earlier calculated, and the risk for cancer may be underestimated. This conclusion is presented by research student Somsak Dangtip in his PhD thesis at Uppsala University, Sweden. His findings are based on new evidence from experiments at the The Svedberg Laboratory. It is wellknown... view more... (2000-09-18)
UC Davis researchers find molecule that targets brain tumors
UC Davis Cancer Center researchers report today the discovery of a molecule that targets glioblastoma, a highly deadly form of cancer. The finding, which is published in the January 2009 issue of the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, provides hope for effectively treating an incurable cancer. view more (2008-12-30)
European Masterclasses on Physics: research centres opened for 3000 high school students
On occasion of the World Year Physics, the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics is participating from March 7th to 19th in the Physics European Masterclasses. An Epog (European Particle-Physics Outreach Group) initiative that opens high school students the doors of the fascinating world of particle physics. view more (2005-03-04)
Scientists show that mitochondrial DNA variants are linked to risk factors for type 2 diabetes
Today, researchers report for the first time that genetic variants in mitochondria-energy-producing structures harboring DNA that are inherited only from the mother-are directly linked to metabolic markers for type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-08-13)
Study explains why up to eight percent of cancers go undetected
A few years ago, Medhat Osman, M.D., Ph.D., had a patient who was scanned due to a suspicion of lung cancer using positron emission tomography (PET) and computer tomography (CT) technology. The scan came back negative, but the patient then complained of a problem with his leg. view more (2005-06-15)
Scientists clone mice from adult skin stem cells
For cells that hold so much promise, stem cells' potential has so far gone largely untapped. But new research from Rockefeller University and Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists now shows that adult stem cells taken from skin can be used to clone mice using a procedure called nuclear transfer. view more (2007-02-13)
MSU researcher nabs 'doubly magic' tin isotope
With help from newly developed equipment designed and built at Michigan State University, MSU researchers have been able to make first-of-its-kind measurements of several rare nuclei, one of which has been termed a "holy grail" of experimental nuclear physics. view more (2008-12-12)
Turning a nuclear spotlight on illegal weapons material
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have demonstrated that they can cheaply, quickly and accurately identify even subnanogram amounts of weapon-grade plutonium and uranium. view more (2006-10-30)
