The Lancet Oncology and The Lancet Infectious Diseases
THE LANCET ONCOLOGY THE TRUE COST OF A NUCLEAR DETERRENT This month’s editorial covers the recent leaked report from the US Department of Health and Disease Control, showing the patterns of nuclear fallout across the US resulting from Cold War testing. The editorial discusses the impact of these data on cancer incidence and the worldwide... view more... (2002-03-27)
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)
Sandia, task force to study ways ocean and wastewater can be desalinized in California
Researchers from the National Nuclear Security Administration's Sandia National Laboratories, together with fellow members of the Joint Water Reuse & Desalination Task Force, in coming months will be studying the best ways to desalinize-and make potable-ocean water, subsurface brines, and wastewater. view more (2005-09-07)
NYU biologists identify gene that coordinates two cellular processes
A team of biologists at New York University's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics has uncovered a dual role for the gene mel-28. The gene plays a part in ensuring that chromosomes are divided properly during cell division and it is required for nuclear envelope function. view more (2006-09-06)
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)
Lamin A/C deficiency is 'unnerving'
Mutations in the nuclear intermediate filament lamin A/C (LMNA) gene are associated with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, but cause the disease by unknown mechanisms. Méjat et al. show that one mechanism involves the disruption of neuromuscular junctions. view more (2009-01-05)
Mobil Technology Company Launches Contracted Research in Russian Nuclear City
VNIITF is located in Snezhinsk, Russia - the nuclear city formerly known as Chelyabinsk-70. The new agreement addresses the modelling of oil flow in porous media, and will provide Mobil Technology with sophisticated new mathematical solvers used in oil well optimisation. view more (1999-10-13)
Nuclear physicists examine oxygen's limits
Physicists at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University have made a unique measurement of an exotic oxygen nucleus, leading scientists one step closer to deciphering the behavior of the element at its limits of existence. view more (2007-09-14)
Trade-offs reveal no clear favorites in alternative energy market
The nuclear power industry is riding the green wave back into public favor with its promise of a low-carbon solution to our growing energy needs. But even as the industry struggles to dictate what role nuclear can realistically play, it is bound by a global energy landscape-from solar to carbon sequestration-that is still predominantly shaped by... view more...

Researchers distinguish waves from mine collapses from other seismic activities
Researchers have devised a technology that can distinguish mine collapses from other seismic activity. view more (2008-07-11)
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)
Research debunks myth of self-reliant nuclear family
Despite the long-cherished belief that the nuclear family is independent and self-sustaining, most families with working parents depend on a network of care to manage work and family demands, according to research by Brandeis University sociologist Karen Hansen. view more (2005-08-01)
EFDA-JET Press Day 10th July at Culham Science Centre, Oxfordshire
As announced recently, a press day will be held on Tuesday 10th July 2001 at EFDA-JET, the flagship experiment of the European nuclear fusion programme, to celebrate the first year of experimental campaigns on JET under the European Fusion Development Agreement. The JET facility is situated at the Culham Science Centre, Oxfordshire. The programme... view more... (2001-06-27)
Underground Nuclear Explosions Deteriorate The Ozone Layer
Russian scientists have found one more cause of depletion of the ozone layer. They think that abyssal gases can go to the surface and reach stratosphere, deteriorating the ozone shield. Underground nuclear explosions enforce this process. A geologist Boris Golubov of the Institute of Geosphere Dynamics RAS and a climatologist Grigoriy Kruchenitsky... view more... (2002-08-16)
Johns Hopkins Researchers Study Nearly 2,000 Cancer Patients and Detect Unexpected, Additional Malignancies
A team of researchers at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore, Md., reports that whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans may help physicians identify new, unexpected malignant cancerous tumors in patients, according to an article in the May issue of the Society of Nuclear Medicine's Journal of Nuclear... view more...
