ETH Researchers Visualize the Binding of Proteins to the Nuclear Surface
Not only the genetic information of individual cells, but also that of the entire organism is stored within the cell nucleus. Each cell of a multicellular organism, e.g. man, contains the identical DNA sequences. The communication between the cell nucleus and the remainder of the cell is thus decisive for the correct functioning of the cells and... view more... (2003-01-15)
Researchers solve mystery of how nuclear pores duplicate before cell division
Researchers have long wondered how nuclear pores - the all-important channels that control the flow of information in and out of a cell's nucleus - double in number to prepare for the split to come when a cell divides. view more (2006-04-21)
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)
Tackling the threat of nuclear terrorism
The only effective way to tackle the threat of nuclear terrorism is to abolish nuclear weapons and establish strict international control of all fissile materials that could be used to make new weapons, argue three US physicians in this week's BMJ. In the aftermath of 11 September 2001, nuclear terrorism has emerged as a real threat and could... view more... (2002-02-06)
One protein, two channels: Scientists explain mechanism in aquaporins
Using computer simulations and experimental results, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Arizona have identified a key component of the gating mechanism in aquaporins that controls both the passage of water and the conduction of ions. view more (2006-09-22)
Location, location, location: Transcriptional activity and nuclear position
Dr. Mark Groudine (FHCRC) and colleagues report on their surprising characterization of changes in intranuclear organization during murine erythropoiesis. view more (2006-05-18)
What Shall We Do With Nuclear Waste?
There are two ways of dealing with the problem of nuclear waste. The first one is the easiest but not the most sensible: you can simply bury nuclear waste products and try to forget about them. However, this way does not seem to be the most rational. It seems much more attractive to try to derive some benefit from the situation. In this case it is... view more... (2002-03-12)
Nuclear weapons continue to pose a serious health risk in Europe
Nuclear weapons in various European countries, particularly Russia, pose a serious threat to health, argues a letter in this week's BMJ. view more (2005-07-25)
VTT and the French Atomic Energy Commission CEA sign a cooperation agreement on nuclear energy research
VTT`s Director General, Erkki KM Lepp'¤vuori and the French CEA`s Director, Pascal Colombani signed an agreement on research cooperation in Paris . The agreement covers technology and research cooperations in the fields of spent nuclear fuels and nuclear waste management, nuclear research, training in nuclear technology, information exchange in... view more...

Sustainable nuclear energy moves a step closer
In future a new generation of nuclear reactors will create energy, while producing virtually no long-lasting nuclear waste, according to research conducted by Wilfred van Rooijen, who will receive his Delft University of Technology PhD degree based on this research subject on Tuesday, 12 December. view more (2006-12-12)
Reactor of the future destroys nuclear waste--KTH to head major EU project to cut storage times dramatically
A power plant that generates energy from used nuclear waste and destroys it as well. Could this become a reality? A three-year research project involving 23 European partners coordinated by KTH is being launched to investigate the matter. In the last few years great strides have been taken in research into so-called transmutation (see footnote)... view more... (2004-03-18)
A wasted opportunity?
British biologists are urging UK Departments of the Environment to expand a proposed two-year research programme into nuclear waste disposal in length and range to at least five years. Without knowledge of the biological and geological effects for each radioactive isotope, it will be impossible to establish best policy. In a response to Proposals... view more... (2002-03-19)
Molecular spintronic action confirmed in nanostructure
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made the first confirmed "spintronic" device incorporating organic molecules, a potentially superior approach for innovative electronics that rely on the spin, and associated magnetic orientation, of electrons. view more (2006-10-13)
People Power Over Nuclear Issues
Warren, from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK, says, "Nowhere in this process [developing nuclear facilities] is account taken of what shapes the public's perception of the whole process." The nuclear industry is too keen to blind people with science in presenting its plans, she thinks, adding to the inherent secrecy of the... view more... (1999-02-01)
Nuclear weapons in terrorist hands?
Are nuclear weapons of the simpler variety in the hands of a terrorist group- a realistic threat? That question has been studied in a report from FOI (Swedish Defence Research Agency), and the conclusion is that the possibility of nuclear charges being used for terror ends cannot be written off. How hard is it to make a functioning primitive... view more... (2004-01-16)
After North Korea test, what can be done to reduce the growing nuclear threat?
In the wake of the announcement of a nuclear test by North Korea, new questions have been raised about proliferation and the threat of nuclear terrorism. Is nuclear terrorism preventable? view more (2006-10-16)
Is it possible to reduce the threat of nuclear terrorism?
Nuclear terrorism is the gravest international security challenge today. Is the United States prepared to cope with this very real threat? Is nuclear terrorism preventable? What steps has the U.S. already taken to avoid this catastrophe and what steps should be taken in the future? view more (2006-09-01)
No pacemakers in the brain may explain cot death
A failure to 'gasp' has long been proposed as the basis for sudden infant death syndrome, or cot death. view more (2006-02-13)
Brown Researchers Create Novel Technique to Sequence Human Genome
Since the human genome was sequenced six years ago, the cost of producing a high-quality genome sequence has dropped precipitously. view more (2009-04-16)
MIT's molecular sieve advances protein research
New MIT technology promises to speed up the accurate sorting of proteins, work that may ultimately aid in the detection and treatment of disease. view more (2006-09-14)
