MIT Engineers Create Scalable Nanoparticles to Deliver Cancer Drugs Directly to Tumors

MIT researchers have created a quicker, scalable method to produce cancer-killing nanoparticles, bringing this promising treatment closer to human clinical trials. The medicine-carrying particles are engineered to attack tumors directly, bringing medicine to where it’s needed, with fewer side effects from conventional chemotherapy. Until now, though, making them in bulk has been a significant hurdle….

New Modeling Tool Aims to Protect Seabirds from Offshore Wind Farms

Scientists from the University of Glasgow have created a powerful new tool that could reshape how we protect wildlife while advancing renewable energy. The new modeling tool was designed to shield seabirds from increasing danger posed by offshore wind farms without needing difficult-to-obtain satellite tracking information. Appearing in the journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution, this tool is…
