The world of tiny organisms, or microbes, is having a big impact on cancer. These microbes live in and on our bodies, and they can change how our immune system fights cancer. The area around a tumor, called the tumor microenvironment, is a busy place. It's full of cancer cells, immune cells, and oth
In the world of liquid chromatography, tiny changes can lead to big improvements. Researchers have been exploring how tiny mixers, often used to blend liquids, can also help separate them more efficiently. This idea is not new, but recent studies suggest that these mixers could offer a significant b
A big chunk of money meant for schools in Massachusetts is being held up. The Trump administration decided to withhold $108 million that was supposed to arrive on July 1.

Managing rivers and lakes is tricky. There are lots of living things and environmental factors to consider. Most models focus on just a few species or simplify how they interact. This makes it hard to see the big picture. A new approach uses something called Hierarchical Bayesian networks (HBNs). Th
Scientists have come up with a clever way to turn waste into useful things. They made a special system that can change waste materials into green fuel and chemicals. This system uses a special mix of copper and nickel as a catalyst to make these changes happen. At one end of the system, called the
Reservoirs are like big bathtubs collecting water, but over time, they also collect a lot of mud. This mud can cause big problems. In China's Three Gorges Reservoir, even though less mud is coming in each year, there's still a huge amount already there. The same issue is happening in smaller reservo
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients face a tough question after hitting remission: what's next? Doctors often lack clear guidelines for managing care at this stage.
