The amount of long-lived radioactive elements incorporated into a rocky planet as it forms may be a crucial factor in determining its future habitability. That's because internal heating from the radioactive decay of the heavy elements thorium and uranium drives plate tectonics and may be necessary for the planet to generate a magnetic field. Earth's magnetic field protects the planet from solar...

Researchers have explored all COVID-19 research published during the initial phase of the pandemic. The results, which were achieved by using a machine learning-based approach, will make it easier to direct future research to where it is most needed.
Scientists have developed an optical elastography technique that could revolutionize the accuracy and ease to which health professionals can detect biomechanical alterations of cells and tissues.
A new synthetic protein nanoparticle capable of slipping past the nearly impermeable blood-brain barrier in mice could deliver cancer-killing drugs directly to malignant brain tumors, new research shows.
While immunotherapies work well for some cancers, others are immune-resistant and condemn patients to the severe side effects of long-term chemo treatment. A new cancer vaccine successfully treated immune-resistant breast cancer in mice, 100% of which survived a second injection of cancer cells, indicating long-term immunity with no side effects.
Researchers have devised a system for decontaminating N95 masks using off-the-shelf materials that can be purchased at a hardware store, combined with ultraviolet type C (UV-C) lights found in academic research and industrial facilities.
On March 19, 2019, Norsk Hydro, one of the world’s largest producers of aluminum, faced a systemic, worldwide network ransomware attack. Its response strategy was built upon two principles: pay no ransom, and admit the breach. In this session, you’ll hear directly from Halvor Molland, senior vice president at Norsk Hydro ASA, about...
