Inkjet droplets of radioactive material enable quick, precise testing at NIST
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have developed a technique called cryogenic decay energy spectrometry capable of detecting single radioactive decay events from tiny material samples and simultaneously identifying the atoms involved. In time, the technology could replace characterization tasks that have taken months and could support rapid, accurate radiopharmaceutical development and used nuclear fuel recycling, according to an article published on July 8 by NIST.

Energy supply is a vital and, in the long run, an uncertain issue. Given the world population growth, the total energy needs may well increase enormously.
Developing a completely new source of energy such as fusion is a formidable scientific and technological challenge which spans several human generation. How do that for China as developing country?
The aim of the paper is to present the state of the magnetic confinement and fusion fission hybrid reactor project in China.
