NUS Medicine study uses AI to modify drug doses for personalised cancer treatment

The Armour Research Foundation Reactor at Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech) has been officially recognized as a Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Society (ANS). Nicknamed “the atomic furnace,” the world’s first privately owned and operated nuclear reactor marked a significant transition in the history of nuclear research—from its secretive wartime origins to a publicly celebrated pursuit of knowledge and progress.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), UCF scientists and collaborators analyzed far-away bodies — known as Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) — and found varying traces of methanol. The discoveries are helping them better classify different TNOs and understand the complex chemical reactions in space that may relate to the formation of our solar system and the origin of life.

In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers at the University of Houston have developed a new class of ceramic structures that can bend under pressure — without breaking.

A new transatlantic collaboration between the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) and LifeArc will look to develop an affordable and accessible monoclonal antibody therapeutic for Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV), which could treat and protect thousands of people globally.

The iconic pea plant experiments of Gregor Mendel laid the foundations for the science of genetics.  

Now 160 years on, an international research collaboration has used genomics, bioinformatics and genetics to map the diversity of a globally important pea collection – revealing secrets behind the traits that Mendel made famous and uncovering agriculturally useful genetic diversity on an unprecedented scale.
