Velocity - Science in motion



This edition of Velocity gives the reader insight into the ever changing world of PET technologies, yabbies, non-addictive morphine, mosquitoes, Malaria, and micro-dosimeters.

From an article about on how researchers are saving the common Australian yabby from extinction, to the irony of finding bacteria in the stomach of insects that will be used to tackle Malaria, there is always something new to learn in Velocity.

But wait, there's more! Read about the future of PET machines, about the new radiation detector that is as small as a cell nucleus and how scientists are developing a pain remedy that is as effective as morphine but without the addiction.

It doesn't get much better than this, so be sure to forward Velocity on to a friend!
