The combustible sedimentary rock, better known as coal, was not only crucial to the onset of advanced technology here on Earth, but it should also be key to the development of advanced E.T.s residing on any given exoearth. ...
Medical Xpress / First in-human study finds novel immune cell therapy is safe and effective in advanced lymphoma
In a first-in-human study, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center observed strong responses and early signs of antitumor activity in patients with difficult-to-treat non-Hodgkin lymphomas who received ...
Phys.org / Goats can play a role in multi-pronged restoration of buckthorn-invaded woodlands
Goats are increasingly being used in efforts to manage invasive common buckthorn in Midwestern woodlands. New research demonstrates when and how they are best used.

Phys.org / Light-based Ising computer runs at room temperature and stays stable for hours
A team of researchers at Queen's University has developed a powerful new kind of computing machine that uses light to take on complex problems such as protein folding (for drug discovery) and number partitioning (for cryptography). ...
Medical Xpress / Study explores link between hormonal contraceptives and chronic rhinosinusitis in women
A comprehensive study analyzing data from nearly 240,000 women has found that estrogen-containing hormonal contraceptives are associated with a significantly lower risk of chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP), ...
Phys.org / Terahertz microscope reveals the motion of superconducting electrons
You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, while X-rays reveal its internal structures and infrared captures a material's radiating heat. ...
