Some cancer cells survive chemotherapy by blocking their own self-destruct system, but researchers have found a way to switch it back on and kill those cells. Chemotherapy can leave behind cancer cells that have stopped dividing but remain alive and capable of helping a tumor recover. These survivors can draw support from an unexpected source, […]

Subtle differences in brain activity may reveal who is most vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease and who could remain mentally sharp well into old age. Distinct patterns of brain activity may predict Alzheimer’s disease years before memory problems or hallmark brain changes appear. Stanford Medicine researchers have developed a scoring system that identifies people at greater […]

Scientists have recreated the universe’s first 2 billion years in a record-breaking simulation that could reveal new secrets about the Big Bang and the birth of galaxies. Scientists have recreated the universe’s first 2 billion years in extraordinary detail using one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers. The enormous simulation, called “Lumina,” allows researchers to […]

A solar superstorm appears to have turned a normally sheltered region near Earth into a natural particle accelerator, boosting electrons to energies capable of penetrating some satellite shielding. Protecting spacecraft from radiation means understanding where hazardous particles can appear, especially during severe solar storms. Near Earth, an invisible boundary was thought to keep exceptionally energetic […]

A newly discovered dwarf planet candidate has a trail stretching back more than a decade in telescope images, giving astronomers a head start in understanding its orbit. 2026 ED138 could become the solar system’s sixth officially recognized dwarf planet. The newly discovered icy body orbits beyond Pluto, and early measurements suggest it is among the […]

Scientists have discovered hidden rules governing how glioblastoma cells change states and resist treatment. Glioblastoma is one of the deadliest brain cancers, partly because its cells can change identities to survive treatment. Now, two studies published in Nature reveal that these changes follow predictable patterns, potentially offering new ways to make the tumors less aggressive. […]
