Brain tumors, especially a type called glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), are tough to beat. Current treatments like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy only give patients about 15 months to live on average. Scientists are now testing a new approach using tiny robots called nanorobots to fight GBM. The
You might know PepsiCo as the company behind your favorite soda, but did you know they're in hot water with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)? The FTC has filed a lawsuit against PepsiCo, accusing them of something called price discrimination. This means PepsiCo is alleged to have given one big ret
Washing machines might seem clean, but they're actually home to tiny hitchhikers—bacteria. These microscopic critters latch onto surfaces made of metals, polymers, and rubber, forming slimy layers called biofilms. They don't just stick to the machine; they also hitch a ride on clothes. Sweat, skin p
American Express is in trouble. They've agreed to pay a massive $230 million to resolve multiple fraud investigations. This includes $138 million for giving customers bad tax advice about two wire products: Payroll Rewards and Premium Wire. These products were marketed as a way to save on taxes, but
Meet omadacycline, a superhero in the world of antibiotics! This new tetracycline agent fights bacteria that other drugs can't touch. How does it do it? By sneaking past their defenses – both the efflux pumps and the ribosomal methylation tricks. That's why omadacycline has a broader range of power
Ever thought about the tiny critters in soil that help plants grow? We're talking about microbes, and they love nitrogen (N)! Scientists have a nifty tool called qSIP to see which microbes are using N. Usually, this is done in a lab. But what about in the real world? Two sites were picked to compare
In a shocking turn of events, three men have been taken into custody for the murder and robbery of a 66-year-old marijuana business owner in Pontiac, Michigan.

In recent years, robots have become common helpers in spine surgery. Doctors use them to make operations more precise and safer. The 7th and 8th Annual Seattle Science Foundation (SSF) Robotics Courses gathered experts to talk about and show off the latest robotics and surgery techniques. These incl
Did you know tiny plastic bits, called microplastics, are all over our rivers and streams? Scientists wanted to understand how these microplastics move near the bottom of these waterways. They used a special tool called particle tracking velocimetry to watch four types of microplastics move in a lab
