Chemotherapy is a crucial treatment option for cancer patients, but it often comes with significant side effects and limitations. As a result, there is a growing focus on basic research to address these challenges and improve the effectiveness of cancer treatments. A recent study published in Cell Reports Physical Science has introduced a novel approach
Cathay Pacific recently faced a major setback when it had to ground 48 of its Airbus A350 planes for checks due to defective engine fuel lines. This issue forced the airline to cancel dozens of flights, causing inconvenience to passengers. The inspection revealed that components on 15 of the A350s needed to be replaced, leading
Research continues to show the numerous benefits associated with plant-based diets for long-term health. A recent review conducted by medical researchers at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University found that individuals following plant-based diets experience better weight loss outcomes and a reduced risk of heart disease. The consumption of raw vegetables, in particular, was highlighted as
Lunar occultations are fascinating celestial events that occur when the Moon passes in front of and blocks out other celestial objects, such as stars, planets, and star clusters. These events offer a unique opportunity for observers to witness the moon covering up these objects, creating an awe-inspiring sight in the night sky. In September, the
Tropical forests play a crucial role in the global carbon sink, absorbing more than 50% of the terrestrial carbon. However, new research by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists and their colleagues reveals that climate change is posing a threat to the carbon balance of these ecosystems. The study, published in Nature, highlights the potential
The study conducted by researchers from Skoltech, Universitat Politècnica de València, Institute of Spectroscopy of RAS, University of Warsaw, and University of Iceland has shed light on the spontaneous formation and synchronization of multiple quantum vortices in optically excited semiconductor microcavities. The demonstration of polariton quantum vortices in neighboring cells of optically generated lattices with
The study conducted by scientists from China delves into the intricate world of short peptide chains and how they aggregate, shedding light on a process crucial for drug stability and material development. Peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, are integral to various bodily functions such as building structures, facilitating chemical reactions, and bolstering
The “dieselgate” scandal that rocked Volkswagen back in 2015 is once again making headlines as the former CEO, Martin Winterkorn, is set to go on trial after nine years of legal battles. This scandal, which involved the manipulation of emissions levels in millions of vehicles worldwide, led to one of Germany’s most significant post-war industrial
The exploration of Mars has been a topic of interest for many space agencies worldwide. In July 2020, China’s Tianwen-1 mission arrived in orbit around Mars, marking a significant milestone in interplanetary exploration. The mission consisted of six robotic elements, including an orbiter, a lander, cameras, and the Zhurong rover, with the goal of investigating
A recent study conducted on over 1,000 adults has suggested that the use of cannabis can lead to alterations in the human body’s epigenome. The epigenome acts as a control panel for our genes, turning them on or off to regulate various bodily functions. The research, led by epidemiologist Lifang Hou from Northwestern University, shed
Manufacturers of wind turbines face a significant challenge when it comes to connecting their new turbines to the public power grid. It is not enough to simply test the functionality of the turbines and connect them; they must also comply with strict limit values for electrical properties and be able to handle dynamic events such
The COOLBat project is a joint research venture aimed at developing next-generation battery enclosures for electric vehicles. The primary goal is to make these enclosures lighter, thereby increasing the range of electric cars, while also reducing the carbon dioxide emissions associated with their production. By combining individual systems, introducing new heat-conductive materials, and utilizing bio-based
Bipartite matching is a key problem in computer science, with applications ranging from organ donation to ridesharing apps. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Associate Professor Saket Navlakha has found a way to improve bipartite matching algorithms by drawing inspiration from biology. Navlakha identified a bipartite matching problem in the wiring of the nervous system, where muscle
Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in the development and operation of self-driving vehicles. It is responsible for decision-making, sensing, predictive modeling, and various other tasks that enable autonomous driving. However, recent research at the University at Buffalo has raised concerns about the vulnerability of AI systems in self-driving vehicles to malicious attacks. These attacks
