| Responding to the radiation threat Posted: 06 Mar 2012 03:12 PM PST Researchers are developing a promising treatment for safely decontaminating humans exposed to radioactive actinides from a major radiation exposure event, such as a nuclear reactor accident or a "dirty bomb" terrorist attack. The treatment, which can be administered as a pill that can result in the excretion of approximately 90-percent of the actinide contaminants within 24 hours, has been advanced through the initial pre-clinical phases.  |
| Potentially game-changing advances in energy materials Posted: 06 Mar 2012 11:25 AM PST Specific advances in materials and manufacturing can deliver significant energy, environmental, and economic impacts to U.S. businesses in as soon as two to ten years, according to a new study.  |
| Scientists revolutionize electron microscope: New method could create highest resolution images ever Posted: 06 Mar 2012 10:18 AM PST Researchers have revolutionized the electron microscope by developing a new method which could create the highest resolution images ever seen.  |
| Galaxy cluster hidden in plain view Posted: 06 Mar 2012 10:18 AM PST A team of astronomers has discovered the most distant cluster of red galaxies ever observed using FourStar, a new and powerful near-infrared camera on the 6.5m Magellan Baade Telescope. The galaxy cluster is located 10.5 billion light years away in the direction of the constellation Leo. It is made up of 30 galaxies packed closely together, forming the earliest known "galaxy city" in the universe.  |
| Looking at the man in the moon: Astronomers explain why the man in the moon faces Earth Posted: 06 Mar 2012 10:18 AM PST Many of us see a man in the moon -- a human face smiling down at us from the lunar surface. The "face," of course, is just an illusion, shaped by the dark splotches of lunar maria (smooth plains formed from the lava of ancient volcanic eruptions). Like a loyal friend, the man is always there, constantly gazing at us as the moon revolves around Earth. But why did the moon settle into an orbit with the man facing Earth? Researchers explain.  |
| More effective method of imaging proteins Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:29 AM PST Scientists have found a more effective way of imaging proteins. The next step is to film how proteins work – at molecular level.  |
