Scientists have developed a new technique using liquid metal nanoparticles to treat cancer cells. The technique, known as photoimmunotherapy, is a form of light-based, non-invasive therapy that uses light to trigger an immune response in the body. In the new study, researchers used liquid metal nanoparticles that had been coated with a photosensitizer, a compound that absorbs light and causes a chemical reaction. When the light was shone onto the nanoparticles, the photosensitizer caused an immune response in the cancer cells, causing them to self-destruct.

A recent study has discovered two biological markers that could revolutionize the way ovarian cancer is treated. By detecting these markers, doctors can detect ovarian cancer earlier and initiate treatment sooner, giving patients a better chance of surviving the cancer. The markers, known as long non-coding RNAs, or lncRNAs, are molecules that regulate gene expression. By measuring the levels of these molecules in patients, doctors can detect the presence of cancer before it would normally be visible on scans.

A recent survey conducted by the National Science Foundation reveals that the majority of Americans don’t prioritize human exploration in space. The survey asked Americans to rate the importance of space exploration for NASA’s mission, and only 44% of Americans believe that human exploration should be a top priority. This is concerning, considering the potential for space exploration to bring about technological advancements and new scientific discoveries. The survey found that Americans prefer that NASA prioritize robotic exploration over human exploration, with more than 70% of respondents indicating a preference for robotic space exploration.

In a study released this week, researchers from the University of Melbourne have found that Australia has not had enough school nurses for the past three years. The lack of school nurses has caused an increase in student illnesses and absenteeism, leading to an overall decrease in student performance. The researchers found that there was an average of one school nurse for every 2,000 students, a number that is well below the recommended number of one nurse per 1,000 students.

Recently, astronomers made a startling discovery: cool stars that are twice as powerful as previously thought can threaten the habitability of exoplanets. These stars, known as M-dwarfs, are the most common type of star in the Milky Way and have been found to emit strong ultraviolet radiation that could damage the atmospheres of nearby planets. This radiation could strip away vital gases and even render the planet uninhabitable. While the discovery of these powerful stars is a remarkable accomplishment, it is also a worrying one, as it indicates that many of the exoplanets that have been found orbiting M-dwarfs may not be as hospitable as once believed.
