Oncologists should re-evaluate cancer treatments near end of life
Yale Cancer Center/Smilow Cancer Hospital

Systemic treatment of cancer patients near end of life does not improve survival rates, according to a new study from researchers at Yale Cancer Center (YCC) and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The study, which joins a growing body of research on end-of-life cancer treatment, published May 16 in JAMA Oncology.

Argonne National Laboratory

From lemur poop to good old human poop, our waste has a story to tell. The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory’s Environmental Sample Preparation and Sequencing Facility (ESPSF) has the tools and technology to get to the bottom of genetic mysteries from the natural world. Facility Manager Sarah Owens can help shed light on the quirkier side of genetics.

Media Tip: Resurrecting niobium for quantum science
Argonne National Laboratory

For the past 15 years, niobium has been considered a mediocre material for qubits, which are the carriers of quantum information. But now a group at Stanford University and the University of Chicago has demonstrated a way to create niobium-based qubits that rival the state-of-the-art for their class. By restructuring and reengineering how niobium is incorporated in a component called the Josephson junction, the group developed a qubit that could maintain information for 62 millionths of a second, 150 times longer than its best-performing niobium predecessors.
