Chinese scientists created new atomic nuclei, pushing scientific boundaries

Nuclear & Particles, Physics /

Chinese scientists have created two previously unobserved atomic nuclei—Berkelium-235 and Americium-231—that exist for only about 75 seconds, according to a study in Physics Letters B. The discovery extends knowledge of the periodic table and puts current nuclear theories to the test. The experiment was carried out at the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese […]

Scientists Turn Seawater into Drinking Water Without Harmful Brine

Chemistry, Science /

A new solar-powered desalination technology converts seawater into drinking water while eliminating brine waste and extracting valuable minerals. Billions of people worldwide still lack reliable access to safe drinking water. The United Nations estimates that around 2.2 billion people do not have safely managed drinking water services. To meet rising demand, regions like California and

Genetic testing may help some breast cancer patients avoid chemotherapy, a study finds

Healthcare, Medicine /

An international study suggests that many women with early-stage breast cancer can safely skip chemotherapy without affecting their chances of successful treatment. The findings come from the OPTIMA clinical trial, which tested whether a genomic test could identify patients who truly benefit from chemotherapy. The study included over 4,400 participants aged 40 and above from

Ultrathin 1-nanometer nanotubes enable smaller electronic devices

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Researchers in Japan, including the University of Tokyo, have created ~1 nm-wide semiconducting nanotubes—about 100,000× thinner than a human hair—by growing molybdenum disulfide inside boron nitride tubes to form stable, uniform structures at an extreme scale. The results validate long-standing theoretical predictions about ultrathin nanotube behavior and may open new possibilities for ultra-miniaturized electronics. The
