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...

Ice Volcanoes on Saturn's Moon Enceladus
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics and the University of Potsdam have found ice volcanoes-or what could be called "ice geysers"-on the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus. view more (2006-03-15)
Study shows new imaging tracer clarifies cause of chest pain up to 30 hours after pain stops
A national team of researchers, led by a cardiovascular nuclear medicine specialist at the University of Maryland Medical Center, has demonstrated for the first time that an experimental radioactive compound can show images of heart damage up to 30 hours after a brief interruption of blood flow and oxygen. view more (2005-09-27)
Doomsday clock moves forward 2 minutes
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) is moving the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock today from seven to five minutes to midnight. view more (2007-01-18)
Computational actinide chemistry: Are we there yet?
Ever since the Manhattan project in World War II, actinide chemistry has been essential for nuclear science and technology. view more (2007-08-22)
Scientists find safer ways to detect uranium minerals
The threat of 'dirty' bombs and plans to use nuclear power as an energy source have driven Queensland University of Technology scientists to discover a new, safer way of detecting radioative contamination in the ground. view more (2006-11-22)
Mice cloned from skin cells
Healthy and viable mice that survive until adulthood have, for the first time, been cloned from adult stem cells. Scientists from Rockefeller University, including Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Elaine Fuchs, used cells called keratinocyte stem cells, which represent a new model system for cloning. view more (2007-02-13)
Earthquakes Happen at Full Moon
Russian physicists have found that flashes of neutron radiation from the Earth surface are bound to increasing in seismic activity. They believe that this phenomenon can be used as a novel kind of earthquake foreboding. The researchers of the Department of Cosmic Radiation of the Research Institute of Nuclear Physics at Moscow State University... view more... (2001-02-02)
Astronomers see faintest stars in a globular cluster
Astronomers report in the Aug. 18 issue of the journal Science seeing the faintest stars ever seen in any globular star cluster. The light from these dim stars is only as bright as the light produced by a birthday candle on the moon, as seen from Earth. The astronomers used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. view more (2006-08-21)
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)
Zeroing in on progeria: How mutant lamins cause premature aging
Children diagnosed with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) race through life against an unfairly fast clock. Cases are extremely rare-one in 8 million births-but time plays cruel tricks on HGPS newborns. view more (2005-12-14)
Cloned mice created from fully differentiated cells, a milestone in cloning research
New research dismisses the notion that adult stem cells are necessary for successful animal cloning, proving instead that cells that have completely evolved to a specific type not only can be used for cloning purposes, but they may be a better and more efficient starting point. view more (2006-10-02)
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Can Identify Effectiveness of Chemotherapy Early in High-Risk Breast Cancer Patients
The effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer can be evaluated earlier by using 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) imaging over other conventional imaging procedures, according to an article in the July issue of the Society of Nuclear Medicine's Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2005-07-27)
Heat therapy for cancer may be key to 'Lance Armstrong Effect'
Experts at Johns Hopkins have linked scientific evidence spanning more than 30 years to suggest an explanation for why testicular cancer patients like seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong survive far better than patients with other advanced cancers. view more (2006-07-26)
PET's Molecular Imaging Power May Be Best Indicator for Determining Which Patients Develop Alzheimer's
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging-with the radiotracer fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-is a promising tool in detecting Alzheimer's disease in patients who have mild cognitive impairment (MCI). view more (2005-10-06)
Nuclear Medicine Imaging Allows Immediate Prediction of Advanced Breast Cancer Patients' Response to Hormonal Treatment
Innovative use of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS), a nuclear medicine imaging technique looking at how the body functions at the molecular level, may provide near immediate selection of breast cancer patients for endocrine therapy and offers a new tool in fighting the disease. view more (2006-01-20)
Woolly mammoth genome comes to life
A McMaster University geneticist, in collaboration with genome researchers from Penn State University and the American Museum of Natural History has made history by mapping a portion of the woolly mammoth's genome. view more (2005-12-23)
Underground Nuclear Explosions Deteriorate The Ozone Layer
Russian scientists have found one more cause of depletion of the ozone layer. They think that abyssal gases can go to the surface and reach stratosphere, deteriorating the ozone shield. Underground nuclear explosions enforce this process. A geologist Boris Golubov of the Institute of Geosphere Dynamics RAS and a climatologist Grigoriy Kruchenitsky... view more... (2002-08-16)
A balancing act between the sexes
Recent research at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) reveals new insights into how cells achieve equality between the sexes. view more (2006-03-17)
Think solar not nuclear for the energy of the future, say scientists
Solar rather than nuclear energy should be the UK government's priority in planning future energy production, according to scientists writing today in the journal Nature Materials. view more (2006-03-01)
