Gold nanoparticles kill cancer – but not as thought

Gold particles of the size of billionths of a meter are lethal to cancer cells. This fact has been known for a long time, as has a simple correlation: The smaller the nanoparticles used to fight the cancer cells, the faster they die. However, a more interesting, more complex picture of these interactions is [...]

Beyond Einstein: Exploring Spacetime Through Finsler Geometry

Investigations into gravitational waves and their relationship with Finsler geometry are providing new insights into spacetime, suggesting ways to harmonize relativity and quantum mechanics. When speaking of our universe, it’s often said that ‘matter tells spacetime how to curve, and curved spacetime tells matter how to move’. This is the essence of Albert Einstein’s famous general [...]

Meet the Virus-Killing Plastic That’s Changing the COVID Game

Studies at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland show that resin-treated plastics can quickly deactivate viruses, part of a larger effort under the BIOPROT project to develop bio-based antiviral materials for protective gear. Viruses can remain active on solid surfaces for extended periods, potentially raising the risk of infection. Professor Varpu Marjomäki, a Cell [...]

Study shows familiarity with gene editing increases approval of the safety of GMOs

The more that people know about gene editing, the more likely they are to feel it is safe to use in agriculture and medicine, according to a survey of more than 4,500 people across the United States. While there is a technical difference between "gene editing" and "genetic modification," also known as transgenics, people [...]

Study finds connection between cannabis use and increased risk of severe COVID-19

As the deadly disease that came to be known as COVID-19 started spreading in late 2019, scientists rushed to answer a critical question: Who is most at risk? They quickly recognized that a handful of characteristics—including age, smoking history, high body mass index (BMI) and the presence of other diseases such as diabetes—made people [...]
