Plutonium signature captured after 50 years of trying – physics-math – 17 May 2012 – New Scientist
5/18/2012 They almost gave up! Then scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory got the break they needed. The discovery of the signature of radioactive isotope plutonium-239 may lead to more effective use and storage of nuclear waste. Devoted fans can … Continue reading
University of Wisconsin to Build Reactorless Mo-99 Medical Isotope Generation Facility
5/16/2012 Molybdenum-99, a radioactive isotope commonly used for cancer screening, has been in short supply — and has long needed a producer in the U. S. The radioisotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) is a commonly used radiomarker for cancer diagnostics and life … Continue reading
Alfred University researchers win Department of Energy grants
5/16/2012 Two Alfred University professors will receive a combined total of $1.72 million for research through the Nuclear Energy University Programs (NEUP) of the federal Department of Energy. Both projects aim to find solutions for safe disposal of nuclear wastes … Continue reading
Turning a line
5/16/2012 The race to extend the periodic table continues One of the first inklings that chemistry has an underlying pattern was the discovery, early in the 19th century, of lithium, sodium and potassium—known collectively as the alkali metals. Though different … Continue reading
Gas separation with graphene nanopores
5/15/2012 Scientists in New Zealand, the US and Germany have developed a way of using tiny pores in a graphene sheet to separate different isotopes of helium. By creating nanoscale holes in the material, the researchers calculated that it should … Continue reading
New round of federal funding received for $85 million medical isotope project
5/9/2012 The Morgridge Institute for Research has received a $20.6 million cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration to support development of a new process and manufacturing plant for a medical isotope needed by tens … Continue reading
Gamma ray optics: A viable tool for a new branch of scientific discovery
5/9/2012 Scientists at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) have demonstrated for the first time that gamma rays, a highly energetic form of light produced by radioactive decay of atomic nuclei and amongst other [things] used to kill cancer cells, can be … Continue reading
Joint European Stable Isotope Users Group Meeting – JESIUM 2012
4/30/2012 Stable isotope methodologies have become a crucial research tool in a wide range of scientific fields. The purpose of the meeting is to bring together a broad range of stable isotope scientists from all over the world, to encourage … Continue reading
Researchers find method of identifying sources of NOx emissions – Power Engineering
4/19/2012 A team of researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has developed a method that could identify the sources of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Researchers collected emissions samples from several power plant stacks … Continue reading
An Alpha Edge?
4/18/2012 A radium isotope may help prolong life of prostate cancer patients – – by Edward B. Silberstein, MA, MD, FACNM Dr. Cheetham and Dr. Petrylak have provided a most helpful review of the available data on use of radium-223 … Continue reading
