Six radioactive 'hotspots' detected in Delhi: GreenpeaceNew Delhi (AFP) May 14, 2010 Greenpeace said Friday it had detected dangerously high levels of radioactivity near a New Delhi salvage yard where radiation poisoning last month killed a worker and left seven more in hospital. The environmental group said its experts picked up radiation 5,000 times above normal background levels at the privately owned salvage facility in the city's congested Mayapuri district and its surrounding areas. "We picked up six hotspots between 20 and 50 metres (65 and 165 feet) from the scrapyard, w ... read more |

Tallahassee FL (SPX) Apr 26, 2010Imagine the marriage of hard metals or semiconductors to soft organic or biological products. Picture the strange, wonderful offspring - hybrid materials never conceived by Mother Nature. The applications in medicine and manufacturing are staggering, says biologist Steven Lenhert, the newest faculty face of nanoscience at The Florida State University. How about a mobile phone fitted ... more

The selected proposals, representing 10 institutions in eight states, will receive a total of almost $10 million over a three- to four-year period. The Human ... more  
Tel Aviv, Israel (UPI) Apr 22, 2010 Most water treatment plants use chlorine to keep water free of bacteria but Israeli scientists say ultraviolet light might be a better method. Tel Aviv University postdoctoral researcher Hadas Mamane, doctoral student Anat Lakretz, Professor Eliora Ron and their team said although chlorine keeps water free of micro-organisms, it also produces carcinogenic byproducts. The scientis ... more |

Ultrasensitive Imaging Method Uses Gold-Silver NanocagesWest Lafayette IN (SPX) Apr 20, 2010 New research findings suggest that an experimental ultrasensitive medical imaging technique that uses a pulsed laser and tiny metallic "nanocages" might enable both the early detection and treatment of disease. The system works by shining near-infrared laser pulses through the skin to detect hollow nanocages and solid nanoparticles - made of an alloy of gold and silver - that are injected into the bloodstream. Unlike previous approaches using tiny metallic nanorods and nanospheres, the new t ... read more |
