The discovery of stable ''isotopes" began with J. J. Thomson's identification of neon-22 in 1912 (Bievre et al., 1984). More than 90 naturally occurring elements have been identified on the earth; ...
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 ...
One year ago last week the Clinton Laboratories at Oak Ridge, Tenn. began selling radioactive isotopes made in its uranium pile. Already, these atomic by-products have had important influences on U.S.
Brookhaven's Medical Isotope Research and Production Program focuses on extracting Actinium-225, a rare radioactive element that can be used in cancer radiation therapy. (Energy Department photo) The ...
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 ...
THESE three comprehensive volumes dealing with biological and medical applications of isotopes appear within a few months of each other, and mark a milestone in the subject. The rate of development in ...

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 ...
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 ...
Both radioisotopes and enriched stable isotopes are essential to a wide variety of applications in medicine, where they are used in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. This report focuses ...
