Prostate tumors can vanish from the immune system’s radar. Now, scientists have found a way to strip away that disguise by changing the length of a single RNA molecule. Researchers have developed a CRISPR-based treatment that changes how prostate cancer cells process messenger RNA, or mRNA. In mice, the approach drew more immune cells into […]

The Hidden Cancer Risk of Ketogenic Diets
The same diet may slow cancer in one part of the intestine while accelerating it just a few inches away. The same diet may protect one part of the gut while increasing cancer risk in another. In a new study published in Nature, MIT researchers found that ketogenic diets, high in fat and extremely low […]
Quantum Computer Stores Data in Vibrations Like Notes on a Guitar
Inside a chip no wider than a fingernail, a quantum computer is storing information as tiny vibrations, a breakthrough that could reshape how these machines are built. A quantum computer does not usually bring musical instruments to mind. Yet inside a chip developed at ETH Zurich, information is stored in vibrations that behave somewhat like […]

Astronomers Discover Two Super Puff Planets Lighter Than Cotton Candy
Two giant planets lighter than cotton candy are giving astronomers a rare new window into the origins of some of the galaxy’s strangest worlds. Astronomers have identified two of the least dense giant planets ever measured. The unusual worlds belong to a rare class known as “super-puff” planets, and both are less dense than cotton […]
Scientists Restore the Sense of Touch With Electrical Brain Stimulation
Researchers have found that precisely targeted electrical stimulation of the brain can recreate a sense of touch in people with spinal cord injuries. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Chicago followed five people with spinal cord injuries who received implanted brain-computer interface devices. Over a combined 27 years of implant use, […]
