Why haven’t cancer cells undergone genetic meltdowns?
Cancer first develops as a single cell going rogue, with mutations that trigger aggressive growth at all costs to the health of the organism. But if cancer cells were accumulating harmful mutations faster than they could be purged, wouldn’t the population eventually die out? …read more

Pore size influences nature of complex nanostructures
In new research that could help inform development of new materials, chemists have found that the empty space (‘pores’) present in two-dimensional molecular building blocks fundamentally changes the strength of these van der Waals forces, and can potentially alter the assembly of sophisticated nanostructures. …read more
