Researchers have uncovered an unexpected weakness in pancreatic cancer involving damaged mitochondria and a powerful inflammatory signal. Researchers at The Wistar Institute and ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute have identified a weakness in pancreatic cancer that may open the door to new treatments. Their study, published in the Proceedings of the […]
A Strange Quantum Effect May Explain One of Biology’s Greatest Mysteries
Electron spin may subtly break the symmetry between mirror-image molecules, helping explain why biology chose one molecular hand. Scientists may have uncovered a quantum-level clue to one of biology’s oldest mysteries: why life overwhelmingly favors one molecular “hand” over its mirror image. A new study points to electron spin, a subtle quantum property, as a […]
NASA’s Psyche Spacecraft Is About To Fly Shockingly Close to Mars
NASA’s Psyche spacecraft is using a daring close flyby of Mars to slingshot toward one of the solar system’s strangest asteroids. NASA’s Psyche spacecraft is preparing for a close flyby of Mars that will help propel it farther into the solar system on its journey to the metal-rich asteroid Psyche. On Friday, May 15, the […]

This Mars Rock Refused To Let Go of NASA’s Curiosity Rover
Curiosity accidentally yanked a rock out of Mars and spent days trying to shake it loose. A newly released set of images shows NASA’s Curiosity rover dealing with an unusual problem on Mars after a rock became lodged on the drill attached to its robotic arm. After several attempts involving arm movements and repeated drill […]
Scientists Build a Living AI Device Using Real Brain Cells
A 3D network of living neurons and electronics can recognize electrical patterns and may help researchers study both brain function and low-energy computing. Princeton researchers have built a 3D device that brings living brain cells and advanced electronics together in one system. The device can be programmed with computational methods to recognize patterns. Earlier efforts […]

Why Are So Many New Fathers Dying? Scientists Say the U.S. Has a Dangerous Blind Spot
A new study examining paternal mortality data in Georgia found that 60% of the deaths were preventable. It took nearly a century for maternal mortality in the United States to be acknowledged, pushed out of focus, and then recognized again as a major public health emergency. Paternal mortality has followed a very different path. Research […]
