Researchers in ACS Central Science report a sugar-like polymer that traps heavy metals within insoluble clumps for easy removal. In proof-of-concept tests, the polymer removed ionic cadmium and lead from river water spiked with these persistent contaminants.
After years of preparation, the first neutrinos have been observed by the Short-Baseline Near Detector collaboration. The data SBND collects will expand our knowledge of how neutrinos interact with matter and will be used to search for evidence of new physics.
After nearly a decade of preparation, scientists – including researchers from Rutgers University – have turned on a new apparatus capable of detecting a host of mysterious tiny particles. Researchers working on the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Ill., have started up the new machine and begun detecting the neutrinos produced by Fermilab’s particle accelerator beams.
As prescription oral chemotherapies have become a common form of cancer treatment, some patients were paying more than $10,000 a year for medications. A new study finds that efforts to cap prescription drug spending are yielding significant out-of-pocket savings for these patients.
Mark Awad, MD, PhD, has been appointed Chief of the Thoracic Oncology Service within the Solid Tumor Oncology Division, Department of Medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK).
The Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group has selected UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography to receive a four-year, $10 million grant funded by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation to establish the Allen Discovery Center for Neurobiology in Changing Environments. The center will take a multidisciplinary approach to investigating how climate change may impact the nervous systems and behavior of marine animals.
The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) selected nine scientists as the 2024 Howard Garrison Advocacy Fellows.
Rutgers Health researchers surveyed 870 parents in nine states with diverse firearm policies and ownership rates.

In a world where organizing a simple meeting can feel like herding cats, new research from Case Western Reserve University reveals just how challenging finding a suitable meeting time becomes as the number of participants grows.
Researchers at the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center have uncovered a key reason why a typically normal protein goes awry and fuels cancer. They found the protein NSD2 alters the function of the androgen receptor, an important regulator of normal prostate development.
People with operable non-small cell lung cancers may fare better over the next few years by receiving immunotherapy treatments before and after surgery instead of only before surgery, according to a new analysis by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center investigators.
Age-related changes in the fibroblasts, cells that create the skin’s structure, contribute to the development of aggressive, treatment-resistant melanoma in males, according to research in mice by the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.
New findings from a global team of expert scientists in academia and industry has generated world-first research quality standards that will help slash costs and reduce the time it takes to develop advanced nanomedicine treatments and make them available for patients.
The vision of people with a rare inherited condition that causes them to lose much of their sight early in childhood was 100 times better after they received gene therapy to address the genetic mutation causing it. Some patients even experienced a 10,000-fold improvement in their vision after receiving the highest dose of the therapy, according to researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania who co-led the clinical trial published in The Lancet.
