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)

Fungi have a hand in depleted uranium's environmental fate
Fungi may have an important role to play in the fate of potentially dangerous depleted uranium left in the environment after recent war campaigns, according to a new report in the May 6th issue of Current Biology, a publication of Cell Press.   view more (2008-05-05)

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)

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)

Psychology, Peace and Conflict
Peace psychology is being increasingly acknowledged as playing an important role in developing a wider understanding of issues such as conflict, political violence, terrorism and prejudice. Leading researchers in this area will present their work in a symposium today, Thursday 15 April 2004, at... view more (2004-04-15)

Leading experts tackle needless suffering of children in disadvantaged and war torn countries
Imagine a child with a cancer eating a way through the wall of her tummy, with no prospect of curative treatment and with only paracetamol to dull the pain, or a hospital struggling to provide care on a daily budget of just 6p per child per day. These things are happening now, in the 21st century.... view more (2001-11-01)

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... 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)

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... 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)

Forecasting the 2005 UK General Election

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.... view more (2002-05-29)

NOAA and partners to survey German subs sunk off North Carolina during World War II
NOAA will lead a research expedition July 7-26 to study the wrecks of three German submarines sunk by U.S. forces in 1942 off the coast of North Carolina during the Battle of the Atlantic.   view more (2008-07-10)

Sources of energy for the EFDA-JET nuclear fusion experimental reactor
JEMA, the company based in Lasarte in the Basque Country, has recently put into operation the two energy supply plants designed and manufactured for the European EFDA (the European Fusion Development Agreement)-JET nuclear fusion experimental reactor at Culham in the United Kingdom. This reactor is... view more (2004-02-19)

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... view more (2000-09-18)

15% INJURIES FATAL FROM CLEARANCE OF ANTIPERSONNEL MINES
A research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describes the burden of injury and mortality resulting from the clearance of antipersonnel mines from seven war zones over the past decade. Thousands of people are involved with the clearance of antipersonnel mines and unexploded ordnance in... view more (2001-12-12)

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.

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)

Wolfowitz is the wrong choice for the World Bank

Scientists clone mice from adult skin stem cells
For cells that hold so much promise, stem cells' potential has so far gone largely untapped. But new research from Rockefeller University and Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists now shows that adult stem cells taken from skin can be used to clone mice using a procedure called nuclear... view more (2007-02-13)

Novel biomarker for prediction of survival in colorectal carcinomas revealed
Levels of a protein called thymidylate synthase (TS) within two separate compartments of a tumor cell-the nucleus and the cytoplasm-may be critical markers predicting survival in colorectal cancer, according to a study at Yale University School of Medicine.   view more (2006-09-14)
