Harvesting Safe Water from Air: A Bioinspired Journey from Lab to Life
Behind the Paper: “Pathogen-Free Water Production for Cell Culture and In Vivo Use via Hygroscopic Aerogel Platform”
How B-cell lymphoma hijacks signals from the microenvironment to survive
In this work, we uncover the molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of tumor microenvironment–induced silencing of the pro-apoptotic protein BIM, using mantle cell lymphoma as a cellular model.
Ice-rock avalanches in a warming Himalaya indicate pathways toward effective preparedness
Cryospheric hazards such as ice rock avalanches are increasing across the Himalaya as glaciers destabilize under climate warming. This study examines recent events and highlights pathways for anticipatory hazard governance, early warning systems, and community centered preparedness.
Quantum Countdown: Protecting the Internet of Things Before It’s Too Late
IoT revolution is building on a fragile foundation: encryption that quantum computers will break. Our systematic review maps this urgent threat to smart cities, healthcare, and industry, and evaluates the next-generation shields, where PQC needed to secure our connected future before it's too late.
