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 black hole's 'point of no return'
Scientists have found new evidence that black holes are performing the disappearing acts for which they are known. view more (2006-01-11)
A star's death comes to light
Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have created a stunning new image of one of the youngest supernova remnants in the galaxy. This new view of the debris of an exploded star helps astronomers solve a long-standing mystery, with implications for understanding how a star's life can end catastrophically and for gauging the expansion... view more...

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)
Space is dusty, and now astronomers know why
Massive star supernovae have been major "dust factories" ever since the first generations of stars formed several hundred million years after the Big Bang, according to an international study published in Science Express today. view more (2006-06-09)
Scientists piece together the most distant cosmic explosion
In this week's issue of Nature, scientists at Penn State University and their U.S. and European colleagues discuss how this explosion, detected on 4 September 2005, was the result of a massive star collapsing into a black hole. view more (2006-03-09)
Exploding star within a star - a recurrent nova!
On 12 February 2006, amateur astronomers reported that a faint star in the constellation of Ophiuchus had suddenly become clearly visible in the night sky without the aid of a telescope. view more (2006-04-07)
Astronomers discover new kind of black-hole explosion
Scientists have discovered what appears to be a new kind of cosmic explosion - a "hybrid gamma-ray burst" - which will be the subject of four articles to be published in the journal Nature on 21 December 2006. view more (2006-12-21)
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)
ASU geologists suggest Mars features are result of meteorite strikes, not of evaporated lakes
Geologic features at the Opportunity landing site on Mars were formed not by a lake that evaporated but by constant strikes from meteorites, say two Arizona State University geologists. view more (2005-12-22)
Nuclear explosion on a dead star - astronomers probe aftermath
A team of astronomers from the UK and Germany have found that a nuclear explosion on the surface of a star 5,000 light years from Earth resulted in a blast wave moving at over 1,700 km per second (one thousand miles per second or almost four million miles per hour!). view more (2006-07-20)
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)
