Nano-radiomics unveils treatment effect on tumor microenvironment
Jul 11, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Research has shown that the tumor microenvironment (TME) can help cancers grow and evade the immune response. The TME has even been shown to inhibit cellular immunotherapy, a novel form of treatment in which the cells of a patient's immune system are re-engineered in the...

Home > Press > Flexible material shows potential for use in fabrics to heat, coolResearchers reported in a new study that a material made of carbon nanotubes may be key in developing clothing that can heat or cool the wearer on demand. The film is twisted into a filament yarn...
Cosmic cataclysm allows precise test of general relativity
Jul 09, 2020 (Nanowerk News) In 2019, the MAGIC telescopes detected the first Gamma Ray Burst at very high energies. This was the most intense gamma-radiation ever obtained from such a cosmic object. But the GRB data have more to offer: with further analyses, the MAGIC scientists could now confirm...
