KAIST Controls Light’s Rotation Direction Without Complex New Materials
Light can now be made to rotate in a chosen direction without designing entirely new chiral molecules, according to researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute...
Targeted Focal Therapy Shows Promise Against Prostate Cancer
A new analysis of prostate cancer care in the United States suggests that focal therapy—an approach designed to destroy only the tumor-bearing portion of the...
Biochar and nitrification inhibitors reduce ammonia losses without sacrificing crop yields
Nitrogen fertilizer has helped transform modern agriculture, allowing farmers to produce far more food from the same land. Yet a significant portion of the nitrogen...
Study reveals how epigenetic clocks work and introduces new age-prediction tools
For years, epigenetic clocks have promised to reveal whether a person is aging faster or slower than the calendar suggests. Now, a new study is...
New strategy strengthens CAR-T cells against solid tumors, potentially transforming cancer treatment
For years, CAR-T cell therapy has stood as one of cancer medicine’s most striking successes. By removing a patient’s T cells, genetically engineering them to...
Study Compares SBRT and Hypofractionated IMRT for Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer
For men with localized intermediate-risk prostate cancer, a high-tech radiation treatment that can complete therapy in just a few sessions did not outperform a more...
Pakistan study links traumatic brain injury to poor long-term survival
Traumatic brain injury is taking a far heavier toll in Pakistan than hospital statistics alone suggest. Two new studies led by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers...
DNA Repair Mechanisms Show Preference for Certain Genetic Damage
A wound that heals imperfectly leaves a scar. In the genome, the equivalent scar is a mutation: a permanent alteration in DNA that remains after...
How Collective Labor Sustained Pre-Hispanic Fields in La Mojana
A vast network of pre-Hispanic earthworks in Colombia’s La Mojana region is challenging the long-standing idea that ancient societies transformed wetlands through short-lived, environmentally damaging...
Eco-Nanozymology Unites Catalysis, Energy, Environment, and Ecology
Scientists in China have proposed a new framework that could reshape how catalytic materials are designed for the planet’s most urgent challenges. Called eco-nanozymology, the...
Half of Prostate Cancer Focal Therapy Use Occurs Outside Guideline-Supported Groups
Pittsburgh researchers have uncovered a striking mismatch between the patients receiving focal therapy for prostate cancer and the men for whom current clinical guidelines support...
Study Finds Antibiotic Myths: Finishing Courses and Longer Treatment Aren’t Always Better
A public-health message that once seemed too simple to question—“always finish your antibiotics”—is colliding with a more complicated reality. New research from scientists at the...
Climate change determined Earth’s top predator 35 million years ago
An international team of researchers has reconstructed how the body sizes of Europe’s ancient carnivorous mammals changed during the Paleogene, a period spanning roughly 66...
New Platform Enables Powerful Studies of Ions in Solid Materials
Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Delft University of Technology have developed a new method for watching ions move...
