How superbugs control their lethal weapons
It appears that some superbugs have evolved to develop the ability to manipulate the immune system to everyone's advantage. view more (2009-05-26)
NRPB Emergency Data Handbook
NRPB has produced a new Emergency Data Handbook1, which updates and replaces both the previous Emergency Data Handbook published in 19862 and also NRPB publication DL103. The handbook provides a compilation of information intended for use by NRPB and other organisations involved in the response to a radiation emergency. Radiation emergencies... view more...

Purdue engineers create safer, more efficient nuclear fuel, model its performance
Purdue University nuclear engineers have developed an advanced nuclear fuel that could save millions of dollars annually by lasting longer and burning more efficiently than conventional fuels, and researchers also have created a mathematical model to further develop the technology. view more (2005-09-29)
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)
Using waste to recover waste uranium
Using bacteria and inositol phosphate, a chemical analogue of a cheap waste material from plants, researchers at Birmingham University have recovered uranium from the polluted waters from uranium mines. view more (2009-09-08)
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)
University of Cambridge and BNFL join forces on Research into Nuclear Waste Immobilisation
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)
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 latest issue of Nature Materials. In January 2000... 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 Energy Agency (IAEA). But the JRC also manages... 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)
Designer Isotopes Push the Frontier of Science
Designer labels have a lot of cachet, a principle that's equally true in fashion and physics. view more (2008-05-12)
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 one of the plants on which ITER, the largest... view more... (2004-02-19)
Sandia's Z machine exceeds two billion degrees Kelvin
Sandia's Z machine has produced plasmas that exceed temperatures of 2 billion degrees Kelvin - hotter than the interiors of stars. view more (2006-03-09)
Scientists put the squeeze on electron spins
University of California scientists working at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a novel method for controlling and measuring electron spins in semiconductor crystals of GaAs (gallium arsenide). view more (2005-06-16)
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. An Epog (European Particle-Physics Outreach Group) initiative that opens high school students the doors of the fascinating world of particle physics. view more (2005-03-04)
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)
Pioneering research could make UK a world leader
Speculative research being pioneered at Northumbria University could make major medical advances in screening patients in the future. Dr David Smith from the School of Engineering and Technology is developing a microwave imaging system which would replace X-rays. The work, currently under patent, seeks to develop a technique to allow... view more... (2003-11-13)
