New research has shown how the tendencies of albatross to trail fishing vessels could be leveraged to aid in conservation efforts, with scientists equipping the birds with tracking devices that can reveal the presence of shady fishing operations. Continue reading Albatross kitted out with radar detectors spy on illegal fishing boats
Scientists are coming up with some creative new methods to fight cancer. Now, a new study has found that iron nanowires could deliver a three-pronged attack against cancer cells, using heat, vibrations and drugs together. Continue reading Iron nanowires serve up deadly triple threat to cancer
A new study suggests that stainless steel may not be the best choice for containing high-level nuclear waste. By simulating long-term storage conditions, it was found that the storage materials interact with each other more than previously thought. Continue reading Stainless steel may not be the best choice for storing nuclear waste

Adding chlorine is a common method of disinfecting drinking water, but just how safe is it? Johns Hopkins scientists have found evidence that reactions between chlorine and natural compounds in water may produce previously-unknown toxic byproducts. Continue reading New toxic byproducts found in chlorinated water
Scientists have pieced together 10 devices that mimic the functions of different organs to create a functioning Body-on-Chips platform, which can offer new and comprehensive insights into how prospective drugs will behave throughout the human body. Continue reading Body-on-Chip system mimics the behavior of 10 connected organs
A novel clinical trial from an international team of researchers has found a cheap, generic drug may effectively moderate the severity of symptoms associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. Continue reading Cheap, common drug may improve autism symptoms in children
