Ceramic, heal thyself
A new computer simulation has revealed a self-healing behavior in a common ceramic that may lead to development of radiation-resistant materials for nuclear power plants and waste storage. view more (2008-04-21)
Brave new world in life sciences
The biosciences are converging with information technology, nanotechnology, and materials science in unforeseen ways, yielding remarkable advances that have the potential to cure-or kill. view more (2006-08-24)
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)
Fair and adequate reimbursement is vital to developing life-saving medical treatments
Reimbursement of molecular imaging and therapies-leading to the early detection and diagnosis of many life-threatening diseases-remains an urgent and critical need as consumers face ever-increasing healthcare costs. view more (2008-06-18)
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)
New study finds Power Plate exercise aids in weight loss, reduction of harmful visceral fat
New research presented at the 17th European Congress on Obesity (ECO) suggests that exercise done on Power Plate® vibration plate exercise machines in conjunction with a healthy diet may help people lose weight and trim harmful belly fat. view more (2009-05-11)
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)
Experiments examine hydrogen-production benefits of clean coal burning
Sandia National Laboratories researchers here are studying the burning characteristics of coal to prepare the way for the coming of a hydrogen economy. view more (2006-04-05)
Building a better telecom system
Hurricane Katrina helped University of Texas professor, Alexis Kwasinski, formulate a new plan for the U.S. telecom system: a de-centralized power architecture that would have kept the lights and phones on in New Orleans. view more (2008-07-24)
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)
Recycling wind turbines
The development of wind power promises much in terms of providing us with renewable energy for the future and wind turbines could be the most effective way to harness that power. view more (2007-09-21)
Does wind power have a chance? Four analyses from Lund Institute of Technology
Wind power is the most rapidly growing form of energy in the world today. European wind power accounts for the greatest share, with Denmark, Germany, and Spain as leading countries. In Denmark, for example, wind power provides roughly 12 percent of production of electricity. In Sweden, too, wind power has increased, although to a more limited... view more... (2003-12-18)
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)
Connecting fuel-cells to the power grid
The travelling colossus weighs 20 tons and measures over seven meters in length. A few months ago, the core of the “PEM Oberhausen” power supply system completed its long journey from canadian Vancouver to the Ruhr region in Germany. On August 27, Ernst Schwanhold, the North Rhine-Westphalia minister for industry, small and... view more... (2002-09-20)
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)
