Scientists from the University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB), the University of Wisconsin, and Argonne National Laboratory are working on a new process to produce a pair of radioisotopes of the element ...

The ACMUI anticipates new positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers to become available in the next few years in major clinical settings of cardiology, neurology, and oncology. In addition, the ...

That natural, bee-produced sweetener you stir into your tea and lavish on your toast may be laced with cesium-137. It’s a radioactive isotope, Jim Kaste explains, a relic of the atom bomb tests of the ...

GLASGOW, Scotland (CNN) — A group of scientists turned sleuths in Scotland who developed a way to test the age of Scotch whisky have found that a lot of the vintage spirits aren’t anywhere nearly as ...

Medical imaging has experienced tremendous growth since the discovery of X-rays: the x-ray-based CT scanner, advances in positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging, the development of single photon ...

FOR twelve years now, nuclear physicists have been able to produce in their laboratories a slow release of usable amounts of atomic energy, by transmuting stable atoms of the ordinary chemical ...

EHSA allows for the entry of source use and waste generation by the Authorized User or Radiation Worker. This mechanism is meant to capture the dispensing of radioactive material from the original ...

Researchers measured very precisely atomic masses of radioactive lanthanum isotopes and found an interesting feature in their nuclear binding energies. The discovery provides essential data for ...

There are traces of radioactive fallout from nuclear tests conducted in the 1950s and 1960s in American honey, a new study has revealed. The presence of a radioactive isotope called cesium-137 has ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

The Atomic Energy Commission, which is not allowed to tell much more than the time of day about the bomb-making business, likes to talk about a less glamorous product of its giant reactors—radioactive ...

Researchers at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, precisely measured atomic masses of ...
