Glioblastoma is one of the most common and aggressive forms of brain cancer, and it's one of the hardest to treat. There may be good news on the horizon, however.A newly developed hydrogel, tested on mice, cleaned up traces of glioblastoma tumors and stopped them from returning. The hydrogel was so effective that there was a "striking" 100 percent survival rate in the animals.Although we can't be sure that the same treatments will achieve that level of success in humans, it's a hugely promising new approach.Paclitaxel is…

The drug, which is also sold under the brand names Selzentry (US) and Celsentri (Europe), showed signs…

Image via Warner Bros. The Flash movie has its work stacked against it when it finally emerges from the Speed Force into cinemas this June 16. What with years stuck in development hell, the controversy surrounding its star Ezra Miller, and the fact it’ll be responsible for wiping out the SnyderVerse, DC fans may already have a chip on their shoulder about the film.

Image by Marvel Studios The Marvels looks to be an example of the MCU’s signature synergy done right, as Marvel fans are celebrating the way the upcoming Brie Larson vehicle blends together at least three different strands of the franchise. On top of obviously being a Captain Marvel sequel, Nia DaCosta’s film is likewise a follow-up to both Ms. Marvel and WandaVision, thanks to the presence of both Kamala Khan (Kamala Khan) and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris). And yet, while it promises to answer a couple of…

In 2011, nomads roaming the western Sahara encountered precious time capsules from Mars: coal-black chunks of a meteorite, strewn across the dunes. “Black Beauty,” as the parent body came to be known, captivated scientists and collectors because it contained crystals that formed on Mars more than 4.4 billion years ago, making it older than any native rock on Earth.

This time was supposed to be different. This time was supposed to be different. The memory-chip sector, famous for its boom-and-bust cycles, had changed its ways. A combination of more disciplined management and new markets for its products — including 5G technology and cloud services — would ensure that companies delivered more predictable earnings. And yet, less than a year after memory companies made such pronouncements, the $160 billion industry is suffering one of its worst routs ever. There's a glut of the…
