Computer system helps scientists understand how cancer could be reversed

BENEIN is a computer network that can identify the master regulators that cause normal cells to go cancerous.

COOLWEAR: Water immersion therapy without waste

The fluidic wearable device is less wasteful when it comes to water, but equally effective alternative to water immersion therapy.

A theory of frozen stars challenges our understanding of black holes

Linking string theory with observations, frozen stars shed new light on black holes and the clash between quantum mechanics and relativity.

A “dark dimension” could help explain the origin of dark energy

Scientists propose that mysterious dark energy could be understood if we look at the Universe through the lens of string theory.

Securing data with bright entangled photons

Secure data sharing methods using quantum key distribution via satellites promise advancements in long-distance quantum communication.

Study finds zombie cells may play a role in aging

Cells that can no longer divide may play a role in the chronic inflammation that weakens the immune system and contributes to aging.
