Features
Reinventing Ceramic Production
Carolyn Krause
A new ORNL device controls the size and shape of ceramic particles to minimize defects in final products.
ORNL's
Magic Bullets: On Target for Health
Jim Pearce
Four ORNL radiopharmaceutical agents are being tested in human patients with cancer, heart disease, or pancreatic insufficiency. Another is in preclinical testing for brain disorders like Alzheimer's disease.
Tumor-Fighting Genes and Chemical Health Risks
Carolyn Krause
A tumor-suppressor gene could help determine if waste-site chemicals pose a human cancer threat.
Two sidebars discuss the gene's potential for treating cancer and AIDS.
