Scientists track 'doubling' in origin of cancer cells

Sciencedaily.com 

Working with human breast and lung cells, scientists say they have charted a molecular pathway that can lure cells down a hazardous path of duplicating their genome too many times, a hallmark of cancer cells.

One of the biggest teenage prospects in Europe chased by several Premier League clubs is set to be out for six months

Caught Offside 

One of Europe’s hottest prospects, Roony Bardghji, has suffered a major ACL tear meaning it’s no highly unlikely any team will come in for him this summer. The 18-year-old Swedish wide forward has endured an excellent season with FC Copenhagen, amassing seven goals in 23 league matches in Denmark. Swedish press have previously described him […]

Physicists arrange atoms in extremely close proximity

Sciencedaily.com 

Physicists developed a technique to arrange atoms in much closer proximity than previously possible, down to 50 nanometers. The group plans to use the method to manipulate atoms into configurations that could generate the first purely magnetic quantum gate -- a key building block for a new type of quantum computer.

A North Carolina man is charged with mailing an antisemitic threat to a Georgia rabbi

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

A North Carolina man is charged with mailing an antisemitic threat to a rabbi in Georgia. A federal indictment unsealed Thursday says that Macon Rabbi Elizabeth Bahar received a threatening postcard in February after she testified before Georgia lawmakers to support defining antisemitism in state law. The postcard referenced the name of the gas to execute Jews during World War II and included the words “Jews are rats.” A grand jury indicted Ariel Collazo Ramos of High Point, North Carolina, on a charge of mailing threatening communications.

Human activity is causing toxic thallium to enter the Baltic sea, according to new study

Sciencedaily.com 

Human activities account for 20% to more than 60% of toxic thallium entering the Baltic Sea over the past eight decades, according to new research. Currently, the amount of thallium, which is considered the most toxic metal for mammals, remains low in Baltic seawater. Much of the thallium in the Baltic, which is the largest human-induced hypoxic area on Earth, has been accumulated in the sediment thanks to sulfide minerals.

Path to easier recycling of solar modules

The use of femtosecond lasers to form glass-to-glass welds for solar modules would make the panels easier to recycle, according to a proof-of-concept study.

Low intensity light to fight the effects of chronic stress

Sciencedaily.com 

Some neurological disorders can be improved through photobiomodulation, a non-invasive technique based on the application of low-intensity light to stimulate altered functions in specific regions of the body. Now, a study reveals how photobiomodulation applied to the brain-gut axis is effective in recovering some cognitive alterations and sequelae caused by chronic stress. The study opens up new perspectives for applying the technique in future therapies for the treatment of neurological diseases in patients.

Wildfires in wet African forests have doubled in recent decades

Sciencedaily.com 

Climate change and human activities like deforestation are causing more fires in central and west Africa's wet, tropical forests, according to the first-ever comprehensive survey there. The fires have long been overlooked.

Dietary changes may treat pulmonary hypertension

Sciencedaily.com 

Blood vessels in the lungs aren't like the others in the body. This difference becomes clear in pulmonary hypertension, in which only the lungs' blood vessels stiffen progressively, leading to chronic lung disease, heart failure and death. The underlying reasons for this organ-specific vessel stiffening remained a mystery until researchers made a surprising discovery about these blood vessel cells in patients with pulmonary hypertension -- they're hungry.

Scientists test for quantum nature of gravity

Sciencedaily.com 

A new study reports on a deep new probe into the interface between the theories of gravity and quantum mechanics, using ultra-high energy neutrino particles detected by a particle detector set deep into the Antarctic glacier at the south pole.

Military strikes kill 715 terrorists, 465 hostages rescued in April – DHQ
