Using sound and bubbles to make bandages stickier and longer lasting
Researchers have discovered that they can control the stickiness of adhesive bandages using ultrasound waves and bubbles. This breakthrough could lead to new advances in medical adhesives, especially in cases where adhesives are difficult to apply such…
A step towards quantum gravity
Solving Einstein’s equations by using quantities that apply across all space and time coordinates could enable physicists to eventually find their ‘white whale’: a quantum theory of gravity.
Pralsetinib achieves tissue-agnostic benefits for patients with RET gene fusions
The targeted therapy pralsetinib was well-tolerated and demonstrated high response rates in patients with RET gene fusions, regardless of tumor type.

Concise synthesis of pleurotin
Chemists report a concise synthesis of pleurotin by way of the Diels-Alder reaction and a radical epimerization. Their late-stage intermediate intersects a milestone 1988 synthesis, reducing the total number of steps needed. The new method could yield …

Cousin of crop-killing bacteria mutating rapidly
A bacterial species closely related to deadly citrus greening disease is rapidly evolving its ability to infect insect hosts, and possibly plants as well.
