First semiconductor-based PET scanner demonstrates potential to aid in early diagnosis of disease
Evaluations of the first-ever prototype positron emission tomography (PET) brain scanner that uses semiconductor detectors indicate that the scanner could advance the quality and spatial resolution of PET imaging, according to researchers at SNM's 55th Annual Meeting.   view more (2008-06-17)

Research overturns accepted notion of neutron's electrical properties
For two generations of physicists, it has been a standard belief that the neutron, an electrically neutral elementary particle and a primary component of an atom, actually carries a positive charge at its center and an offsetting negative charge at its outer edge.   view more (2007-09-18)

HOPE for detecting landmines
It will soon be easier, safer and quicker to detect land mines, thanks to a Handheld Operational Demining System project, better known as HOPE. ESA has played an important role in this EU project, which could save thousands of lives each year. HOPE is part of the European Union's efforts to... view more (2001-05-29)

Separating uranium from plutonium
Moscow researchers have made the supercritical carbon dioxide work. Saturated with special reagents, carbon dioxide first extracts uranium from the spent nuclear fuel waste, then extracts plutonium and then flies away into the atmosphere. As a matter of fact, the spent nuclear fuel consists of... view more (2003-08-08)

Surgery for hand amputees in Sierra Leone (p 1072)
