Evidence of broadside collision with dwarf galaxy discovered in Milky Way
Oct 20, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Nearly 3 billion years ago, a dwarf galaxy plunged into the center of the Milky Way and was ripped apart by the gravitational forces of the collision. Astrophysicists announced today that the merger produced a series of telltale shell-like formations of stars in the vicinity...

New nanotechology design provides hope for personalized vaccination for treating cancer
Oct 02, 2020 (Nanowerk News) One of the key challenges in developing effective, targeted cancer treatments is the heterogeneity of the cancer cells themselves. This variation makes it difficult for the immune system to recognize, respond to and actively fight against tumors. Now, however, new advances in nanotechnology are making...
