The moon's getting its first airport, and it's about to get busy. Within the next two decades, NASA's planned Gateway—humanity's first lunar spaceport—may become a bustling hub for Orion crew capsules, lunar landers, cargo ...
Medical Xpress / An 'undruggable' cancer target meets an RNA-based strategy to curb tumor growth
Researchers at Umeå University have developed a strategy to slow the growth of tumor cells. By targeting the genetic instructions that control the production of a key cancer-related protein, they were able to inhibit tumor ...
Tech Xplore / How probabilistic analysis can help improve nuclear safety
In nuclear power plants, primary coolant piping systems are designed to maintain the structural integrity of the nuclear reactor under normal operating conditions. A pipe rupture that can result in a loss-of-coolant accident ...
Phys.org / Nepal floods highlight growing glacier risks in warming Himalayas
The deadly flash flood in Nepal on Wednesday was likely caused by a huge chunk of a glacier that broke off and temporarily dammed a river, according to preliminary investigations by scientists. That may have led to the backed-up ...
Phys.org / Exact calculations sharpen view of atomic nuclei
Every high-energy nuclear collision leaves behind a trail of clues about the structure of atomic nuclei. Deciphering those clues, however, depends on the accuracy of the underlying theory. Physicists at Osaka Metropolitan ...
