FeaturesReinventing 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. Strategies for Radwaste Management Charles Forsberg ORNL is helping develop better ways of isolating high-level and low-level radioactive wastes.
