Cancer cell’s “self eating” tactic may be its weakness

Cold Spring Harbor, NY — Cancer cells use a bizarre strategy to reproduce in a tumor’s low-energy environment; they mutilate their own mitochondria! Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) also know how this occurs, offering a promising new target for pancreatic cancer therapies. Why would a cancer cell want to destroy its own functioning… Continue reading Cancer cell’s “self eating” tactic may be its weakness

Ultra-small nanoprobes could be a leap forward in high-resolution human-machine interfaces

Machine enhanced humans — or cyborgs as they are known in science fiction — could be one step closer to becoming a reality, thanks to new research Lieber Group at Harvard University, as well as scientists from University of Surrey and Yonsei University. Researchers have conquered the monumental task of manufacturing scalable nanoprobe arrays small… Continue reading Ultra-small nanoprobes could be a leap forward in high-resolution human-machine interfaces

Photographer Captures Perfect Shot of Person ‘Holding’ the Total Solar Eclipse

Photographer Albert Dros may have captured one of the coolest photos of yesterday’s total solar eclipse in Chile. In addition to a few striking photos of a his model, Bart Lablans, standing next to the eclipse, he also managed to capture Bart “holding” it at totality. Take that cliché Leaning Tower of Pisa photos. The… Continue reading Photographer Captures Perfect Shot of Person ‘Holding’ the Total Solar Eclipse
