Light-guided cancer surgery has been in development for some time with varying degrees of success, from light therapy to glow-in-the-dark tumors and the development of compounds that can illuminate tumors.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags:… Continue reading Lit-up tumors give surgeons new precision in cancer surgery
Ice and water might not seem very exciting to most of us, but they’re actually super strange from a scientific standpoint. Researchers have now discovered a brand new type of ice that’s described as being a true “snapshot” of water, and may be found on… Continue reading Bizarre new form of ice might be “true glassy state” of water

According to UNICEF, the vast majority of stillbirths occur in poor countries. An experimental new pressure-sensing surgical glove may help reduce those numbers, by allowing clinicians to gauge the orientation of the baby within the womb.Continue Readi… Continue reading Pressure-sensing glove may help reduce stillbirths in developing nations
It has long been believed that our prehistoric ancestors started walking on two legs as they moved from the trees into the more open environment of the African savanna. A new study of chimpanzees, however, suggests that such may not have been the case…. Continue reading Chimp study refutes prevailing theory on origins of bipedalism
A teenager in the UK has become the first person to be treated with a revolutionary new gene editing therapy. The patient’s incurable leukemia was effectively cleared using “base-edited” immune T-cells from a donor.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Sc… Continue reading Teenager’s “incurable” leukemia cured by new base editing gene therapy
History is full of artifacts that later turn out to be fakes, but very occasionally the opposite can happen. New analysis of ancient Roman coins long dismissed as forgeries has found they appear to be authentic, revealing a previously unknown Roman emp… Continue reading Authenticated ancient coins reveal a Roman emperor lost to history
Scientists have grown mini eyes from human cells in the lab. These eye organoids provide good models of the real thing to help scientists study diseases that cause blindness and potentially find treatments.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: organoi… Continue reading Scientists grow mini eyes in lab dishes to study blindness
Stars are big hot balls of plasma, but astronomers have now spotted a super strange one that seems to have a solid surface. Its intense magnetic field is strong enough to overcome its blistering temperatures and “freeze” its outer layers into a solid c… Continue reading Bizarre star may have a solid surface, according to X-ray observations
If you’ve ever been turning over your compost heap and found months-old “compostable” plastic items that were still mostly intact – well, you’re not alone. New research states that 60% of such plastics don’t fully biodegrade in home composting systems…. Continue reading Study shows majority of “home compostable” plastics don’t fully degrade
