Quantitative PET Imaging Finds Early Determination of Effectiveness of Cancer Treatment
With positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, seeing is believing: Evaluating a patient's response to chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) typically involves visual interpretation of scans of cancer tumors. view more (2007-10-24)
Diamond detectors - The Physics Congress 2002
Diamond has an extremely high resilience to radiation - three orders of magnitude higher than silicon - making it an ideal material for detectors that monitor radioactive emissions inside the hostile environments found in nuclear energy plants. But because of the high price of real diamond, synthetic diamond is needed. The latest developments in... view more... (2002-04-02)
Radiation degrades nuclear waste-containing materials faster than expected
Minerals intended to entrap nuclear waste for hundreds of thousands of years may be susceptible to structural breakdown within 1,400 years, a team from the University of Cambridge and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reported today. view more (2007-01-11)
Regulation of cell proliferation by the OGF-OGFr axis is dependent on nuclear localization signals
Researchers at The Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, Hershey, Pennsylvania have discovered that the efficacy of the Opioid Growth Factor (OGF, [Met5]-enkephalin), a clinically important antitumor agent, is dependent on nucleocytoplasmic translocation and reliant on the integrity of nuclear localization signals in the OGF receptor... view more...

Princeton scientists confirm long-held theory about source of sunshine
Scientists are a step closer to understanding sunshine. A monumental experiment buried deep beneath the mountains of Italy has provided Princeton physicists with a clearer understanding of the sun's heart -- and of a mysterious class of subatomic particles born there. view more (2007-08-21)
Study recommends development of standards for pediatric doses in nuclear medicine
Results of a recent survey of 13 pediatric hospitals in North America show a lack of universally applied standards for administering radiopharmaceutical doses to children undergoing nuclear medicine examinations, according to an article in the June issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2008-06-11)
Do Rocks Hold The Key To Nuclear Waste Storage?
Technology to monitor how the rock barrier around radio active waste reacts has been developed by an Anglo French consortium with the help of 466,286 euros from the EU's Framework Programme towards the projects total cost of 765,619 euros. view more (2004-09-09)
Why Are We Making Such A Meal Of Our Nuclear Waste?
Lord Oxburgh, President of the Geological Society of London [Note 1] and Chairman of the House of Lords Science & Technology Committee, will try to answer this question and propose a solution today in his final Presidential Address to the Society. You are invited to hear him speak at 1600 on Thursday 2 May at the Geological Society, Burlington... view more... (2002-04-29)
Nuclear fusion-fission hybrid could contribute to carbon-free energy future
Physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have designed a new system that, when fully developed, would use fusion to eliminate most of the transuranic waste produced by nuclear power plants. view more (2009-01-28)
Government energy policy unrealistic, says Academy
The Government's energy policy is hopelessly unrealistic, expecting far too much from renewable energy sources and ignoring serious concerns about reliable gas supplies, the Royal Academy of Engineering has told Energy Minister Brian Wilson MP in a report published today (30 August). The Academy's engineering assessment is highly critical of the... view more... (2002-08-28)
Breast Cancer Treatment Heats Up
In the March Journal of Nuclear Medicine, researchers demonstrate that miniscule bioprobes could be produced and used with molecularly targeted therapeutic heat to kill malignant breast cancer cells—without damaging nearby healthy tissue. view more (2007-03-07)
Hi ho silver! FSU physicist helps discover an atomic oddity
Working with an international team of scientists, a Florida State University physics professor has taken part in an experiment that resulted in the creation of a silver atom with exotic properties never before observed. view more (2006-01-30)
New paradigm for cell-specific gene delivery
Researchers from Northwestern University and Texas A & M University have discovered a new way to limit gene transfer and expression to specific tissues in animals. view more (2008-06-23)
Zeroing in on progeria: How mutant lamins cause premature aging
Children diagnosed with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) race through life against an unfairly fast clock. Cases are extremely rare-one in 8 million births-but time plays cruel tricks on HGPS newborns. view more (2005-12-14)
Rice University's Baker Institute experts available to discuss stem cell research, recommendations
Rice University's Baker Institute has experts available to discuss the current debate on United States' embryonic stem cell policy. view more (2009-02-18)
Finding of a new molecular marker of resistance to chemotherapy in breast cancer
A collaborative study between the IDIBAPS—Hospital Clínic of Barcelona and the Hospital del Mar de Barcelona permits to establish a predictive factor in the resistance to chemotherapy in breast cancer and to establish possible therapeutic targets for the improvement of this treatment. view more (2006-06-29)
Science at the Petascale: Roadrunner Results Unveiled
The world's fastest supercomputer, Roadrunner, at Los Alamos National Laboratory has completed its initial "shakedown" phase doing accelerated petascale computer modeling and simulations of a variety of unclassified, fundamental science projects. view more (2009-10-27)
New sonofusion experiment produces results without external neutron source
A team of researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Purdue University, and the Russian Academy of Sciences has used sound waves to induce nuclear fusion without the need for an external neutron source. view more (2006-01-30)
Researchers offer proof-of-concept for Altered Nuclear Transfer
The theory, called altered nuclear transfer (ANT), proposes that researchers first create genetically altered embryos that are unable to implant in a uterus, and then extract stem cells from these embryos. view more (2005-10-17)
Fusion to play part in UK energy strategy
Fusion is one of the research areas picked out for energy investment from the UK government by the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee in its Report on Energy Research published yesterday. The report "Towards a non-carbon fuel economy: research, development and demonstration" looks at the state of development of different... view more... (2003-04-04)
