ESA takes a new look at the Moon
Thirty years after Apollo 16`s lunar module, Orion, landed at the western edge of the Descartes Mountains on 21 April 1972, there is still much that we don`t know about the Moon. For instance, how was it created? And what role did it play in the formation and evolution of Earth? We may be closer to answering those, and many other questions,... view more... (2002-04-23)

New ORNL process brings nanoparticles into focus

New medical ultrasound technology rides wave of the future
A fully digital 4D ultrasound system is set to provide a 'next generation' integrated solution for medical imaging applications, allowing practitioners to provide faster treatment and improve therapeutic success rates.   view more (2005-05-12)

Predicting PET Imaging's Future: Diagnosing and Treating Diseases ASAP
Imagine a new world of detecting and diagnosing diseases sooner-even before any symptoms are present. Consider the possibility of receiving individualized, targeted molecular, cellular or genetic medical treatment as soon as possible and of undergoing scanning that can quickly tell your doctor whether your treatment is working.   view more (2006-11-02)

NIH study finds MRI more sensitive than CT in diagnosing most common form of acute stroke
Results from the most comprehensive study to compare two imaging techniques for the emergency diagnosis of suspected acute stroke show that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide a more sensitive diagnosis than computed tomography (CT) for acute ischemic stroke.   view more (2007-01-29)

Researchers detect low-energy neutrinos, probe energy production in sun's center
In collaboration with scientists from institutions in the United States and Europe, researchers from Virginia Tech have observed tell-tale signals of neutrinos emitted by thermonuclear fusion reactions that power the sun deep in its interior.   view more (2007-08-28)

Birdsong not just for the birds
Computer scientists from the University of Bonn, in conjunction with the birdsong archives of Berlin's Humboldt University, have developed a kind of 'Big Brother' for birds. This has nothing to do with entertainment, but a lot to do with the protection of nature.   view more (2008-07-29)

Because cleaner grains make finer flour
A new computer program devised by British physicists can quickly spot tiny beetles, rodent droppings and ergot (a poisonous mould) in grain destined for flour and bread manufacture. The researchers reveal details of their work today in the Institute of Physics journal Measurement Science and Technology. Professor Roy Davies and his colleagues in... view more... (2002-10-31)

Human Brain Connectivity Mapping
The unique connectivity pattern of a brain region determines the type of information available to it, and hence influences its function. Defining these patterns enhances our knowledge of human brain architecture and function. Non-invasive in vivo definition of brain connectivity patterns complements functional imaging and provides new... view more... (2004-09-23)

New Mayo Clinic MRI technology enables noninvasive liver diagnoses
Two recent Mayo Clinic studies have found that magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a new imaging technique invented at Mayo Clinic, is an accurate tool for non-invasive diagnosis of liver diseases.   view more (2007-05-23)

Penn researchers discover the powerful tool of simultaneous fMRI and PET imaging
Clinical researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) are the first to combine fMRI and PET scanning in radiology, creating a way to compare different measurements of the brain's function concurrently. This analysis could lead to better diagnosis and treatment in patients suffering from brain disorders, like Alzheimer's... view more... (2005-10-13)

Particle physics fights terrorism
Scientists have developed a detector for plastic explosives. A consortium of scientists from Imperial College, other universities and industy have created the detector, which uses neutrons and is based on technologies developed for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva. The technique overcomes problems with other devices that can confuse - for... view more... (1997-11-03)

Ten Inventions Created for James Webb Space Telescope Approved
Scientists and engineers have been working for years to develop ten technologies for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, like big mirrors that will actually move around in space and computer software that will make it happen, or the materials that make up a giant sunshield as big as a tennis court.   view more (2007-05-04)

Researchers visualize complex pigment mixtures in living cells
In a technical advance that could allow researchers to watch cells as they act during the process of photosynthesis, scientists have developed a method that extends the power of fluorescence-mediated bio-imaging to see discrete pigments inside live cells of bacteria.   view more (2008-03-05)
