Children living near highways are exposed to higher concentrations of traffic-related carcinogenic pollutants. Several studies reported an increased risk of childhood cancer associated with traffic exposure, but the published evidence is inconclusive. We investigated whether cancer risk is associate...
Interim data from the Phase I dose escalation part of the mRNA cancer immunotherapy (mRNA-4359), show promise in patients with advanced solid cancers. The investigational mRNA cancer immunotherapy is targeted for patients with lung cancer, melanoma and other solid tumours. Nineteen patients with adv...
This review focuses on the issue of poverty affecting economic decision-making. By critically evaluating existing studies, the authors propose a structural m...
AI has helped physicists discover a simpler way of achieving quantum entanglement. This finding could make it easier to develop quantum communication technologies.
Today, the gene jockeys at Colossal Biosciences introduced us to the woolly mouse, a extra-bushy rodent they say is the first step toward using biotechnology to bring back the extinct woolly mammoth. Along with its notable shag, the mouse has other mammoth traits such as its color and ability to deal with cold temperatures.
The illusory truth effect is the tendency for any statement that is repeated frequently—whether it is factually true or not, whether it is even plausible or not—to acquire the ring of truth. Studies show that repetition increases the perception of validity—even when people start out knowing that the...
Diamond is well-known for being the hardest natural material on Earth, though synthetic forms have been developed that are even tougher – a feat that researchers have managed again, through a new approach to diamond formation.
A US company successfully landed its spacecraft on the Moon on Sunday, marking only the second private mission to achieve the milestone – and the first to do so upright.
Distant, ancient galaxies are giving scientists more hints that a mysterious force called dark energy may not be what they thought.Astronomers know that the universe is being pushed apart at an accelerating rate and they have puzzled for decades over what could possibly be speeding everything up. Th...
