12 exotic bacteria found to passively collect rare earth elements from wastewater
Frontiers

Scientists have shown that the biomass of 12 previously unstudied strains of cyanobacteria from around the globe is efficient at the biosorption of the rare earth elements lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, and terbium from aqueous solutions. This allows these rare elements, for which demand is steadily growing, to be collected from wastewater from mining, metallurgy, and the recycling of e-waste and reused.

Metastasis Markers
University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center

Dario Marchetti, PhD, and his team at the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center found the same common genomic signature in the circulating tumor cells taken from the mice and from the people with melanoma brain metastases. And they found this signature in the circulating tumor cells that were injected in the mice, as well as in cells isolated from a person with melanoma brain metastasis who was undergoing treatment.

Fewer surveillance MRIs may be appropriate for patients with incidental pituitary lesions
American College of Physicians (ACP)

A cohort study of persons with incidental pituitary microadenomas found that approximately two-thirds of the microadenomas remained unchanged or decreased in size over time. These findings suggest that less frequent pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) surveillance for patients with incidental pituitary microadenomas may be safe. The findings are published in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Scientists Twist X-Rays with Artificial Spin Crystals
Department of Energy, Office of Science

“Twisted” X-ray beams carrying orbital angular momentum hold great promise for imaging and probing materials at the nanoscale. Scientists have now developed and demonstrated a new technique that uses a special patterned array of engineered nanoscale magnets called an artificial spin ice to impart OAM to X-ray beams. The beams can be switched on and off using changes in temperature and magnetic fields.

After the land rush
University of Delaware

New research led by the University of Delaware shows transnational agricultural large-scale land acquisitions (TALSLAs), and the forest loss associated with them, pose a threat to biodiversity in the Global South — broadly defined as the nations of the world with low levels of economic and industrial development that are typically located to the south of more industrialized nations.
