Phys.org / Nanoengineered materials can store and release hydrogen at room temperature
Energy engineers worldwide are working on various new technologies that could help to limit greenhouse gas emissions on Earth and address climate change. One proposed alternative to polluting fossil fuels, such as petrol, ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer vaccine sustains 49% melanoma reduction after 5 years
The combination of a vaccine and a drug, which both harness the immune system to attack cancer cells, has proven successful in cutting the risk of skin cancer recurrence and death by 49%, a new study shows. This reduction ...
Medical Xpress / Clinical trial shows tile-based radiation therapy lowers risk of recurrence in brain metastases
A multicenter clinical trial led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has found that implanting collagen tiles during brain surgery to deliver targeted radiation therapy dramatically improved ...
Medical Xpress / RAS(ON) inhibitor doubles median overall survival in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer
A shift in the way people think about and treat pancreatic cancer could be on the horizon based on positive results from the pivotal randomized Phase III RASolute 302 trial comparing daraxonrasib to chemotherapy as second-line ...
Medical Xpress / Breast cancer risk models fall short for women with family history, study finds
Researchers from Trinity College Dublin, St James's Hospital, and collaborating institutions have carried out the most comprehensive review to date of tools used to estimate breast cancer risk in women with a family history ...
Medical Xpress / Perioperative apalutamide in high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer reduces risk of metastasis, death
High-risk localized and locally advanced prostate cancer patients treated with apalutamide—a next generation neoadjuvant androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI)—plus hormone therapy before and after prostate cancer surgery ...
Phys.org / A giant star may have destroyed itself in one of the universe's rarest explosions
Astronomers may have discovered one of the clearest examples yet of a rare "pair-instability" supernova. It is a catastrophic explosion thought to completely destroy some of the most massive stars in the universe, leaving ...
Medical Xpress / Could violence prevention programs decrease tobacco use among teens? Yes, research suggests
One way to lower smoking rates among teens may be to address their exposure to violence, as an analysis by public health researchers at Brown University shows that the two are strongly linked.
Tech Xplore / Transition to electric vehicles in Brazil and Mexico driven by domestic politics and global pressures, study shows
The transition to electric vehicles in Brazil and Mexico has been driven by domestic politics and global pressures, a new study says. Decisions have been made in both countries shaped by factors beyond emissions, costs or ...
Phys.org / Student astronomer discovers 'Rosetta Stone' for mysterious cosmic signals
An international team led by astronomers at the University of Sydney has uncovered the clearest evidence yet for the origin of an unusual class of cosmic signals. In doing so, they have identified a rare stellar system that ...
Phys.org / JWST finds a stellar bar in the early universe that breaks all rules
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have discovered a stellar bar in GN20, a massive galaxy seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. The new paper was submitted to the preprint server arXiv on May ...
Phys.org / Supermassive black holes could be the universe's biggest planet nurseries
Supermassive black holes are the largest known black holes in the universe, sitting at the center of most large galaxies. They are sometimes described as cosmic monsters because they feed on surrounding gas and dust when ...
