New method shows that neocortical nerve cells are not renewed
Most bodily organs continually die and regrow a little at a time. It takes two years, for example, for all the cells of the liver to be replaced by fresh ones. Research from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden now shows that there is one important exception to this - the nerve cells of the brain remain... view more (2006-08-14)

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... view more (2007-09-12)

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)

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... view more (2002-08-16)

Gulf War research panel finds 1 in 4 veterans suffers from illness caused by toxic exposure
At least one in four of the 697,000 U.S. veterans of the 1991 Gulf War suffer from Gulf War illness, a condition caused by exposure to toxic chemicals, including pesticides and a drug administered to protect troops against nerve gas, and no effective treatments have yet been found, a federal panel... view more (2008-11-18)

Lasers spark new paths in radio-isotope transmutation - Scientific breakthrough in the transmutation of isotopes
Collaboration between the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) DG, the University of Jena (Germany), the University of Strathclyde (UK), Imperial College (UK), and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK) has led to the transmutation of long-lived radioactive iodine-129 into short-lived... view more (2003-08-29)

Direct photon properties reveal secrets of extreme nuclear states
When atomic nuclei are smashed together at great speed, resulting temperatures exceed one trillion degrees, 200 million times hotter than the surface of the sun.   view more (2006-04-26)

Nuclear Power Worldwide: Status and Outlook
Nuclear power's prominence as a major energy source will continue over the next several decades, according to new projections made by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has just published a new report, Energy, Electricity and Nuclear Power for the period up to 2030.   view more (2007-10-24)

Survey reveals British public don't know the difference between quarks and DNA - do you?
A survey commissioned by the Institute of Physics (IoP) has found that a staggering 98 percent of UK adults don't know what the world around us is made of. Just under two percent of those asked gave the right answer, quarks, the basic building blocks of all matter in the universe. The survey asked... view more (2004-03-30)

MIT: Regional storage facilities could handle nuclear waste
The Bush administration is eagerly pushing nuclear power as a way to help solve the U.S. energy crisis. But in its new plan for nuclear waste management, the administration is taking the wrong approach, says an MIT professor who studies the nuclear energy industry.   view more (2006-08-23)

Mitochondrial genes move to the nucleus
Why mitochondrial genes ditch their cushy haploid environs to take up residence in a large and chaotic nucleus has long stumped evolutionary biologists, but Indiana University Bloomington scientists report in this week's Science that they've uncovered an important clue in flowering plants.   view more (2007-03-23)

'Grow your own electricity' says City University
A solid oxide fuel cell, placed in the domestic gas boiler, should generate electricity from the gas every time the boiler is activated. The electricity, if not used around the house, could then be sold back into the national grid - running the electricity meter backwards!   view more (1998-11-10)

Fear of water wars ungrounded
Water is a source of cooperation, rather than conflict, at least when it comes to armed conflict. States tend to find ways to reach an agreement rather than to engage in war over shared water resources. Sinister phrophecies about future water wars should therefore be taken with a pinch of salt.... view more (2003-11-12)

EU nuclear research key in the fight against cancer and illegal nuclear trafficking
A key player in the fight against cancer and illegal nuclear trafficking, the European Commission Joint Research Centre's Institute for Transuranium Elements (ITU) at Karlsruhe, Germany, today celebrates its 40th Anniversary. The ITU manages projects for nuclear research in fields such as... view more (2003-10-17)

New Study Identifies Louse-Borne Diseases That Ravaged Napoleon's Army
Napoleon marched into Russia in the summer of 1812 with a half-million soldiers. Only a few thousand staggered out again, victims of war, weather, and disease.   view more (2005-12-15)

Dutch achievements in ‘Golden Century’ thanks to privateers
