Enclosing radiation-loaded particles to better seek and destroy cancer
Being able to deliver drugs directly to diseased cells would improve options for treating diseases. Some radioactive isotopes are already approved to target cancers. When these isotopes change from one isotope to another during the treatment process.....»»
Can quantum particles mimic gravitational waves?
When two black holes collide, space and time shake and energy spreads out like ripples in a pond. These gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein in 1916, were observed for the first time by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (L.....»»

Dual-action therapy shows promise against aggressive oral cancer
In a new study, scientists at Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine found a promising new way to treat a type of oral cancer known as oral squamous cell carcinoma. The method specifically targets the cancer cells through a combination of ni.....»»
Agricultural soils are efficient ice nucleating particles in the southern great plains
INPs are a rare subset of atmospheric aerosol that can initiate ice formation in clouds. There is a significant gap between scientists' ability to measure INPs and to predict their concentrations and variability in large-scale weather and climate mod.....»»
Ce-doped yttria transparent ceramic: A new ultraviolet-shielding material for extreme conditions
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can break most of the chemical bonds in organic matter, and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light can cause significant harm to humans and objects. In response, UV-shielding materials have been developed to fulfill variou.....»»
Developing new methods for targeted protein degradation
Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a new, more precise method to target proteins implicated in certain types of cancer, according to a study published in Nature Chemical Biology......»»

Galaxy clusters could be used as dark matter colliders to understand nature of invisible particles, say scientists
What is dark matter? Even for astrophysicists, it's a question that remains unanswered. These invisible particles make up most of the matter in the universe and about a quarter of the universe as a whole. They are thought to be the cosmic glue that b.....»»
Method can analyze individual, still-living cells that may contain biomarkers for cancer and other deadly diseases
The Ivanov Lab at Northeastern University is paving the way to a whole variety of diagnostic tests that are possible off of a single blood draw, including—someday—cancer......»»
