Medical Xpress / Integrating anatomy and biology for a better pancreatic cancer prognosis
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is notoriously difficult to treat due to its aggressive nature and limited prognostic tools. While the traditional staging systems, such as the TNM classification, focus on anatomical ...
Phys.org / Using soccer balls to refine computational fluid dynamics research methods
If you're a soccer fan, you're familiar with this common sight: A penalty kick is in place, with a "wall" of defenders lined up in front of the goal, ready to leap to try to block the ball if it sails overhead.
Phys.org / 'Light-bending' material that controls blue and ultraviolet light could transform advanced chipmaking
Researchers from TU Delft and Radboud University (The Netherlands) have discovered that the two-dimensional ferroelectric material CuInP₂S₆ (CIPS) can be used to control the pathway and properties of blue and ultraviolet ...
Phys.org / Antarctica's only native insect is already eating microplastics
A global research team led by researchers from the University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment has found that Antarctica's only native insect is already ingesting microplastics, even ...

Medical Xpress / I'm heading overseas. Do I really need travel vaccines?
Australia is in its busiest month for short-term overseas travel. And there are so many things to consider when planning your trip. Unfortunately, it's easy to overlook the importance of pre-travel vaccinations.
Phys.org / An old jeweler's trick could unlock next-generation nuclear clocks
In 2008, a team of UCLA-led scientists proposed a scheme to use a laser to excite the nucleus of thorium atoms to realize extremely accurate, portable clocks. Last year, they realized this longstanding goal by bombarding ...
Medical Xpress / Physicians raise concerns about federal hep B vaccine change
Providers are reeling from a change made by a federal agency responsible for setting and updating vaccination guidelines for American children and adults.
Phys.org / Lunar soil analyses reveal how space weathering shapes the moon's ultraviolet reflectance
