INL-led team achieves nuclear fuel performance milestone
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory, in partnership with three other science and engineering powerhouses, reached a major domestic milestone relating to nuclear fuel performance on March 8. view more (2008-03-11)
Research identifies 3-D structure of key nuclear pore building block
The genome of complex organisms is stashed away inside each cell's nucleus, a little like a sovereign shielded from the threatening world outside. view more (2009-06-08)
Endocrine Society calls for expanded scope and funding for stem cell research
Stem cell research holds great promise for the treatment of millions of Americans with debilitating and possibly fatal diseases. view more (2009-10-28)
PET accurately identifies esophageal cancer patients' positive responses to chemotherapy
Early metabolic imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) accurately identifies patients responding to chemotherapy for esophageal cancer, noted German researchers at the 54th Annual Meeting of SNM, the world's largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals. view more (2007-06-04)
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 out by the University's Geosciences Advisory Unit... view more... (2002-08-07)
NEW TECHNIQUE SHOWS DEATH OF HEART CELLS IN HEART-ATTACK PATIENTS (P 209)
In this week's issue of THE LANCET, researchers from the Netherlands describe a new imaging technique capable of pinpointing areas of cell death in the hearts of patients who have had an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). In acute myocardial infarction, the blood supply to part of the heart is cut off. When blood flow is restored, heart... view more... (2000-07-12)
Research overturns accepted notion of neutron's electrical properties
For two generations of physicists, it has been a standard belief that the neutron, an electrically neutral elementary particle and a primary component of an atom, actually carries a positive charge at its center and an offsetting negative charge at its outer edge. view more (2007-09-18)
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 multiple elements. First of all, this is uranium that... 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 Academy of Engineering when he gives the Lloyds's... view more...

New study shows potential to treat or prevent viral cancers
A new study, presented at the SNM 55th Annual Meeting, shows that radioimmunotherapy (RIT) targeting viral antigens offers a novel option to treat-or even prevent-many viral cancers by targeting cancer cells expressing viral antigens or infected cells before they convert into malignancy. view more (2008-06-17)
Threat of Bioterrorism - Real or Imagined?
Until a few years ago the threat to use microbes as biological weapons was practically ignored by doctors and scientists working in medicine and public health. Today there is every reason to believe that the threat of bioterrorism is not only real but is growing, according to Washington based public health expert Professor Donald Henderson,... view more...

Scientists sequence DNA of woolly mammoth
Experts in ancient DNA from McMaster University (Canada) have teamed up with genome researchers from Penn State University (USA) for the investigation of permafrost bone samples from Siberia. view more (2005-12-20)
Regional nuclear war could devastate global climate
Even a small-scale, regional nuclear war could produce as many direct fatalities as all of World War II and disrupt the global climate for a decade or more, with environmental effects that could be devastating for everyone on Earth, university researchers have found. view more (2006-12-11)
Fathering cancer
EMBARGOED UNTIL WEDNESDAY 19 JUNE 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 Is the next generation paying the price for Sellafield after all? WORKING at the Sellafield nuclear plant in Cumbria may have been harmful after all. Children of men who had... view more... (2002-06-19)
Nature or Nurture-Are You Who Your Brain Chemistry Says You Are?
Researchers using positron emission tomography (PET) have validated a long-held theory that individual personality traits-particularly reward dependency-are connected to brain chemistry, a finding that has implications for better understanding and treating substance abuse and other addictive behaviors. view more (2008-08-13)
Single spinning nuclei in diamond offer a stable quantum computing building block
Surmounting several distinct hurdles to quantum computing, physicists at Harvard University have found that individual carbon-13 atoms in a diamond lattice can be manipulated with extraordinary precision to create stable quantum mechanical memory and a small quantum processor, also known as a quantum register, operating at room temperature. view more (2007-06-01)
US satellite protection scheme could affect global communications
A proposed US system to protect satellites from solar storms or high-altitude nuclear detonations could cause side-effects that lead to radio communication blackouts, according to new research. view more (2006-08-15)
New clues for treatment of disease that causes accelerated aging
There is renewed hope for treatment of a rare genetic condition that causes rapidly accelerated aging and leads to an average life expectancy of 13 years. view more (2007-05-03)
Porous ceramic foam - taking the heat out of furnaces
Concerns over the health effects on humans caused by RCF dust lead to a number of studies in the USA. The EU directive in November 1997 and growing legislation from EU member states, including Germany and The Netherlands, has lead to a widespread search for a suitable alternative. Hi-Por, developed by TMS, is proving to be one of the leading... view more... (1999-04-30)
A new approach to engineering for extreme environments
Composite materials such as fiberglass, which take on a mix of properties of their constituent compounds, have been around for decades. Now, an MIT materials scientist is taking composites to the nanoscale, where entirely new properties, not found in any of the original compounds, can emerge. view more (2009-06-30)
