Creating Designer Isotopes

Roland Piquepaille writes "According to a Michigan State University (MSU) news release, 'Made-to-order isotopes hold promise on science's frontier,' nuclear physicists can now start a new career as isotope designers. These scientists can build specific rare isotopes to solve scientific problems and open doors to new technologies. The lead researcher says this approach has already given us the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan technology. He's now going further, saying that he wants to build objects 100,000 times smaller than the atomic nucleus. He calls this 'femtotechnology.' Also available are additional details and pictures of the tools used for this kind of research, picked from a 415-page design paper." Update: 05/11 14:30 GMT by SS: Readers have noted that the summary inaccurately portrays the scale of the 'femtotechnology.

National Research Council Aims to Improve Science Education

Anew publication from the National Research Council (NRC), Ready, Set, Science! is an educational tool that explains how the latest research on learning and teaching can be put into practice in K-8 science classes. The book provides teachers with summaries from the recent NRC report, "Taking Science to School: Learning and Teaching Science in Grades K-8." The summaries include results from the learning sciences and provide case studies to make the implications of research clear, accessible and stimulating for science educators. The book aims to use these real classroom experiences as examples teachers can use to help improve the learning process within their own classrooms. Teachers are shown how to select and design engaging instructional tasks and conduct productive discussions as well.
