Medical Xpress / Combining new drug with chemotherapy extends survival of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients in clinical trial
Platinum-based chemotherapy is a standard treatment for ovarian cancer, but its effectiveness can be limited in some cases. In some patients, the disease returns or progresses within six months of the last platinum dose, ...
Phys.org / Catching a scramblase in the act could pave the way to improved blood disorder and cancer treatments
Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have revealed the detailed workings of a cell membrane protein that has essential roles in all animals. The discovery could lead to new therapeutic strategies for blood coagulation disorders, ...
Phys.org / Scientists solve 100-year-old mystery behind rubber that powers modern life
Every time you drive, board a plane or water your lawn, you're relying on a material that has quietly powered modern life for nearly a century—reinforced rubber. It's in car and aircraft tires, industrial seals, medical devices ...
Phys.org / Wasps move in on ant-plant partnership, disrupting a 10‑million‑year mutualism
An international team of scientists from Queen Mary University of London, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences and other institutions has uncovered surprising new behavior in ...
Tech Xplore / This technique catches solar cell materials corroding live, exposing the hidden flaws that slash durability
A research team at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon has demonstrated how a classic technique can be repurposed to measure the material degradation of photoelectrodes in real time. This new method enables continuous and precise ...
Medical Xpress / Large trial shows bone healing 'superpower' in children
Broken wrists are among the most common injuries in children, accounting for about half of children's fractures. Severely displaced distal radial fractures, where the bones move out of place, are often routinely treated with ...
Phys.org / Super magma reservoirs discovered beneath Tuscany
How can magma buried 5, 10, or even 15 km underground be detected without any surface indicators? The answer lies in ambient noise tomography, a technique that analyzes natural ground vibrations with high precision. A team ...
Phys.org / Quantum-inspired algorithm solves 268 million-site quasicrystal simulation in a heartbeat
Quantum technologies like quantum computers are built from quantum materials. These types of materials exhibit quantum properties when exposed to the right conditions. Curiously, engineers can also trigger quantum behavior ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Psychiatrists on the unintended, fatal consequences of mixing psychiatric meds
While the U.S. has seen a decline in the overall number of overdose deaths, the news on drug use is not all trending positively, and researchers at Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School are focused on an emerging ...
Phys.org / A new fruit wash removes pesticides and extends shelf life
University of British Columbia researchers have developed a natural, biodegradable wash that removed up to 96% of pesticide residue from fruit and slowed browning and moisture loss. This could mean safer apples, grapes and ...
Phys.org / Quantum Fourier transform reaches 52 qubits, shattering the previous 27-qubit record
The spin-off company ParityQC has implemented the largest quantum Fourier transform ever reported using an IBM quantum computer, thereby setting a new milestone on the path toward the industrial application of quantum computers. ...
Phys.org / Mount Etna breaks volcano rules, tapping 80-kilometer-deep magma in a rare fourth category of eruption
Located in Sicily, Mount Etna is Europe's most active volcano. Yet its origin remains largely enigmatic, as no existing geological model fully explains how it formed. In a new study, scientists from the University of Lausanne ...
