Medical Xpress / A microscopic obstacle course hints at how disorder may prime tumor cells for invasion
In 2024, malignant tumors caused more than 21,300 deaths in Austria, 4.7% more than in 2014. Faced with a similarly pressing global challenge, scientists are striving to better understand what drives cancer cells to grow, ...
Phys.org / Four in five researchers report harmful interactions during geoscience fieldwork. A new survey suggests a path forward.
Fieldwork is a vital part of geoscience research, allowing scientists and students to directly observe, interact with and collect data about Earth processes that cannot be replicated in the lab.
Phys.org / London misperceptions: Study reveals what Britons get wrong
London has one of the lowest violent crime rates of any region in England and Wales, tops a global ranking of the best cities, and pays more in taxes than it receives back in public spending—but the public overestimates how ...
