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 transfer. 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)
Scientists observe solitary vibrations in uranium
Los Alamos scientists, working with collaborators from around the world, recently observed experimental evidence of solitary vibrations (solitons) in a solid. view more (2006-03-31)
MSU researcher nabs 'doubly magic' tin isotope
With help from newly developed equipment designed and built at Michigan State University, MSU researchers have been able to make first-of-its-kind measurements of several rare nuclei, one of which has been termed a "holy grail" of experimental nuclear physics. view more (2008-12-12)
First direct mechanical communication of mitochondria, cardiomyocyte nucleus shown
In a paper being presented in two American Physiological Society sessions at Experimental Biology 2006, a joint Estonian-French team demonstrated "for the first time that mitochondria are able to induce nuclear deformation, suggesting that mitochondria may mechanically regulate nuclear function." view more (2006-04-03)
Radioactive waste – no problem for metal-munching bacteria
A harmless soil bacterium, which can survive high-level exposures to gamma radiation, is being developed to clean up land contaminated with radioactive waste, experts heard today (Wednesday 12 September 2001) at the bi-annual meeting of the Society of General Microbiology at the University of East Anglia. US government researcher Dr. Michael Daly... view more... (2001-09-07)

Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a method for training the common honey bee to detect the explosives used in bombs. view more (2006-11-29)
New test could aid children suffering from reflux disease
A nuclear medicine imaging test was used to confirm that children with respiratory problems may be more likely to develop gastroesophageal reflux disease, according to researchers at SNM's 55th Annual Meeting. view more (2008-06-17)
Renewable energy wrecks environment
Renewable does not mean green. That is the claim of Jesse Ausubel of the Rockefeller University in New York. Writing in Inderscience's International Journal of Nuclear Governance, Economy and Ecology, Ausubel explains that building enough wind farms, damming enough rivers, and growing enough biomass to meet global energy demands will wreck the... view more...

Spallation Neutron Source sends first neutrons to 'Big Bang' beam line
New analytical tools coming on line at the Spallation Neutron Source, the Department of Energy's state-of-the-art neutron science facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, include a beam line dedicated to nuclear physics studies. view more (2008-10-10)
Patients may want to skip that cup of coffee before undergoing PET/CT scans
Patients who need a positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) procedure to evaluate known or suspected malignancies should lay off the java, according to research by Medhat M. Osman, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor in the department of internal medicine's division of nuclear medicine and director of PET at Saint Louis University... view more... (2005-06-21)
'Double crystal fusion' could pave the way for portable device
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a tabletop accelerator that produces nuclear fusion at room temperature, providing confirmation of an earlier experiment conducted at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), while offering substantial improvements over the original design. view more (2006-02-14)
Johns Hopkins Researchers Study Nearly 2,000 Cancer Patients and Detect Unexpected, Additional Malignancies
A team of researchers at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore, Md., reports that whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans may help physicians identify new, unexpected malignant cancerous tumors in patients, according to an article in the May issue of the Society of Nuclear Medicine's Journal of Nuclear... view more...

Made-to-order isotopes hold promise on science's frontier
Designer labels have a lot of cachet - a principle that's equally true in fashion and physics. view more (2008-05-09)
Invading black holes explain cosmic flashes
Black holes are invading stars, providing a radical explanation to bright flashes in the universe that are one of the biggest mysteries in astronomy today. view more (2009-09-21)
Sandia computer simulation monitors traffic in contraband nuclear material
A Sandia National Laboratories researcher has developed a simulation program designed to track the illicit trade in fissile and nonfissile radiological material well enough to predict who is building the next nuclear weapon and where they are doing it. view more (2007-01-18)
Stress imaging tests predict prognosis of heart disease in obese persons
Researchers identified an accurate method that may detect whether obese individuals have a low, intermediate or high risk of coronary artery disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. view more (2006-08-02)
News from the Fran Laboratory of Neutron Physics
Since 1984, for 15 years, in the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia),the highest intensity research neutron source in the world, the IBR-2 pulsing nuclear reactor, has been operating. It was commissioned on February 10 and the program of physical experiments started on April 9, 1984. The... view more... (1999-04-14)
Fusion conditions - Particle simulation studies of divertor plasmas
"Nuclear fusion" is the melting of light nuclei into heavier ones, a process that according to the laws of physics releases enormous amounts of energy. For the past 50 years many scientists have sought ways of harnessing this fusion reaction under controlled reactor conditions as a safe, clean and practically inexhaustible source of energy.... view more...
