Thyroid cancer is the most common cancer of the endocrine system and head-and-neck region. However, there is a lack of data on how this cancer affects adolescents and young adults (AYAs). A recent study sought to change that by estimating the global burden of thyroid cancer among AYAs from 1990 to
The Dayton sisters, Anne and Lucy, recently expressed their surprise and concern over Target's decision to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. This change came after President Donald Trump's election. The sisters, daughters of Bruce Dayton, who helped expand Target, wrote letter
Hermes, the famous fashion brand, just announced some impressive numbers for the last three months of 2024. Their sales jumped by 17. 6%, reaching 3. 96 billion euros. That's way more than what analysts predicted. If you think about it, that's like getting a lot more pocket money than you asked for.
The recent Munich Security Conference sparked a heated debate between U. S. Vice President JD Vance and German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. Vance expressed concerns about the state of democracy in Europe, suggesting that free speech is under threat. He criticized European governments for allege
Molecular dynamics simulations have always been a key tool for scientists. These simulations help us understand how molecules behave and interact. Enter MBX, a software that has been around for about ten years. It uses advanced techniques to make these simulations more accurate. MBX stands out beca
Cancer treatment is getting a high-tech upgrade. Scientists are exploring a unique way to fight cancer cells using tiny magnetic particles. These particles, called magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), are designed to target and kill cancer cells through a process called ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is a speci
Imagine this: a scientist way back in the 1800s, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, had some pretty interesting ideas about how we inherit traits and adapt to our surroundings. He was a pioneer in his time, and his theories have made a comeback in a big way. 2024 marks 280 years since his birth, and his ideas
Doctors have come a long way from the days of blurry x-rays. Back then, it was like trying to read a smudged book. Doctors had to guess what they were seeing. It was tough and not very accurate. Now, imagine a super camera that takes pictures from all angles and combines them into a 3D view. That's
Photon Avalanches (PAs) on the nanoscale are a big deal. They let us make high-energy photons without needing much power. This is all thanks to their unique optical properties. Scientists have been looking into nanoparticles that can do this. These are called photon-avalanching nanoparticles (ANPs)
Ever noticed how some kids sail through school while others find it tough? It turns out that how kids tackle certain thinking tasks might play a big role in their school success. Researchers wanted to know more about something called executive functions. These are like the brain's control center, he
