Cancer has an unfortunate and often deadly tendency to spread through the body, and the most common location for secondary tumors to appear is the lungs. Now, scientists at Harvard’s Wyss Institute have developed a way to treat metastatic tumors in the… Continue reading “ImmunoBait” particles surf blood cells to fight metastatic lung tumors
Classic watchmaker Citizen has long been focused on the past, but now it’s embracing modern technology a bit more. The CZ Smart isn’t Citizen’s first smartwatch, but is the company’s first to sport an all-digital display, bringing a suite of familiar a… Continue reading Citizen unveils its first all-digital smartwatch, the CZ Smart
There are plenty of rocks floating around the solar system, but Apophis has attracted more than its share of attention due to several projected close shaves with Earth in the coming decades. While most impacts have now been ruled out, a previously-over… Continue reading Asteroid’s drifting orbit may impact chance of 2068 collision with Earth
Scientists are reporting promising results from a phase 2 clinical trial of a cholesterol-reducing drug called evinacumab. The study reports that in patients with extremely high cholesterol, the drug was able to reduce levels by about half, compared to… Continue reading Experimental drug halves cholesterol levels in phase 2 clinical trials
Lightning strikes are a major trigger for wildfires, including the record-breaking blazes that devastated Australia, California and other regions this year. An international research team has now demonstrated a method that could effectively control whe… Continue reading Graphene tractor beams could one day redirect lightning strikes
Science fiction has been dangling the promise of holograms in front of us for decades, but like hoverboards and flying cars, the tech always feels just out of reach. Now Samsung has made a major stride towards realistic holograms, with a prototype thin… Continue reading Samsung’s hologram prototype sports 4K visuals and wide viewing angle
Earth isn’t the only place that’s heating up of late – the universe seems to be too. Astronomers at Ohio State University have taken the mean temperature of cosmic gas at different distances and ages, and found that it’s roughly 10 times hotter today t… Continue reading Mean temperature of the universe is rising over billions of years

Jupiter’s moon Europa is a fascinating world, with a global subsurface ocean encased in an icy shell and plumes of water vapor that vent into space. A new study has simulated how these plumes might originate, revealing a surprisingly dynamic ice ball.C… Continue reading Europa’s plumes may not originate from subsurface ocean
