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 ...

The School of Health Sciences began with a few particles in a Purdue University lab and has since expanded into a leader in cutting-edge health research. In 1942, Professor John Christian discovered ...

What do a capsule in Australia, a cylinder in Thailand and a camera in the US have in common? All three contained radioactive material and went missing over the past three months, in what experts say ...

Conceived in wartime, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) managed the transition to peacetime, in part, through the production and distribution of radioisotopes, perhaps the most important scientific ...

If you have ever had a PET scan at a hospital or heard about radiation treatment for cancer or brain tumours, there's a good chance a cyclotron was involved. But what is a cyclotron and how is it used ...

Antarctica's ice sheets are still releasing radioactive chlorine from marine nuclear weapons tests in the 1950s, a new study finds. This suggests regions in Antarctica store and vent the radioactive ...
