🧪 What if cancer drugs stayed dormant until reaching the tumor? A&S chemist Xiaoran Hu's team built a "lock-and-key" platform that cages therapeutics until a chemical trigger releases them. The result: more precise treatment, fewer side effects.

New “Lock-and-Key” Chemistry

Syracuse University researchers are developing a new chemistry platform that could keep therapeutic drugs inactive until they reach a tumor, offering a potential path to safer, more precise cancer…

From Joe Williams: What have we learned from the space probes that visited asteroids Itokawa, Ryugu, and Bennu? Quite a lot about the early, forming Solar System – which might include some prehistoric biology… ⚛️ 🔭 ☄️ 🧪 astrobites.org/2026/05/14/asteroid-sample-missions/

Researchers “sifted thru 2.5 million papers & preprints…encompass[ing] 111 million references…in major repositories incl arXiv, bioRxiv, Social Science Research Network (SSRN), & PubMed Central servers, & found that there were 146,932 hallucinated citations in material published in 2025 alone”🧪

Hallucinated references seem to be way more common in social science papers than others - but why? My latest for @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Ndotto was the tiniest elephant we had ever seen. In August 2014, herdsmen discovered a newborn calf sheltering amongst their goats and sheep. The resourceful little orphan inserted himself into the nearest group of similarly sized creatures. Twelve years on, Ndotto is now leading a wild life.

Kindani has something to say on her way to the mud bath. Elephants communicate constantly – rumbles, trumpets, low-frequency calls felt through the ground as much as heard. After decades of research, scientists are beginning to understand their language. Now, so can you.

Demand is rising, and far exceeds production of approximately 13.5 million BPD: "Total products supplied—a proxy for U.S. oil demand—rose to 21.2 million barrels per day over the last four weeks, up 4.1% compared to the same period last year."

Here’s momma & baby Mountain Goat from Glacier National Park for #stunday. Momma just wanted a nap, but baby was not about that life. This was the first time I’d ever seen a mountain goat. One constant in all these national park trips - I had no idea about the diversity of wildlife in this country
