In the world of cancer treatment, scientists are always looking for new ways to make therapies more effective. One exciting area of research is using tiny organisms, like bacteria, to help with a type of treatment called CAR-based immunotherapy. This therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to
New York State and Ontario, Canada, have joined forces to boost nuclear energy. They want to build new nuclear power plants. This includes both big reactors and smaller, modular ones. Governor Kathy Hochul of New York and Premier Doug Ford of Ontario signed an agreement. It's about sharing ideas an
Silkworms, those fuzzy little creatures that spin shiny cocoons, have a clever way to handle changing seasons. They can pause their development, a process called diapause, when conditions aren't right. This pause is like a built-in survival strategy, helping them wait out harsh weather. Scientists
Cancer is tough to beat. Scientists are always looking for new ways to fight it. One promising area is using tiny carriers, called nanocarriers, to deliver gene-editing tools right to the problem. These nanocarriers are like tiny trucks. They carry a special tool called CRISPR/Cas9. This tool can e
Bone repairs are tricky. Current materials often fall short. They struggle to balance strength and function. But there's hope. Inspired by nature, scientists are using 3D printing to create new materials. These are not your average implants. They are special. They are bicontinuous interpenetrating-p
The sun is a massive star, much bigger than Earth. It is so large that over a million Earths could fit inside it. Despite its size, the sun is often called a "dwarf" star. This might sound odd, but there's a reason behind it. Stars are classified based on their size, brightness, and temperature. Th
Science had a rough time in the United States. Many research grants were put on hold or canceled. This included over 3, 800 grants from big organizations like the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. NASA faced threats of major budget cuts. Top scientists are leaving th
Disasters are unpredictable, and recovery is not always straightforward. Many plans assume that people's needs remain unchanged after a disaster, but this is often not true. A team of innovators has developed a more intelligent approach. This method has three main features. First, it employs a flex
Buildings are starting to use the sun's power more efficiently. But there are hurdles. Designers often don't have the right tools. They also don't think enough about how climate change will affect these systems. A new study tackles these issues. It looks at how buildings can use solar power better.
In the ongoing battle against harmful germs and the growing issue of antibiotic resistance, scientists have made a significant discovery. They've created a new type of material that's both safe and highly effective at tackling these health threats. This new material is called a covalent organic fra
