Putting teeth into forensic science - 0 views

  • Livermore researcher Bruce Buchholz and colleagues at the Karolinska Institute are looking at victim's teeth to determine how old they are at the time of death. Using the Lawrence Livermore's Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry, Buchholz determined that the radioactive carbon-14 produced by above-ground nuclear testing in the 1950s and 1960s remains in the dental enamel, the hardest substance in the body. The radiocarbon analysis showed that dating the teeth with the carbon-14 method would estimate the birth date within one year.

Science Center bonuses are under the microscope - 1 views

  • "Speaking just for myself, I was concerned when I heard about these bonuses," said David Weber, chairman of the Zoo-Museum District's board. It stands out from "what we've heard from the other institutions and the cost-cutting measures they're taking."
