14-Nov-2025 Largest-ever universe simulation up for supercomputing’s highest prize DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Argonne National Laboratory researchers have been nominated for the Gordon Bell Prize in supercomputing for conducting the largest-ever simulation of the universe using the Frontier supercomputer. The achievement sets a new benchmark for simulating the universe, enabling scientists to study atomic matter and dark matter simultaneously. The simulations tracked 4 trillion particles, represented across 15 billion light-years of space — delivering a 15-fold leap in capability over the previous state-of-the-art simulations.

14-Nov-2025 A new playbook for assessing older patients with cancer in places where resources are scarce University of Colorado School of Medicine A University of Colorado Cancer Center leader co-chaired an international expert panel that drafted new global guidelines for conducting geriatric assessments of older people with cancer in parts of the world where robust medical resources may be lacking.
14-Nov-2025 What are the big unanswered questions about cancer? We asked the experts. University of Colorado School of Medicine Over the 40-year history of the University of Colorado Cancer Center, its investigators have answered many questions about cancer – what causes it, how to prevent it, and how to treat it. Those discoveries have helped many people with cancer live longer, better lives.But the quest to solve cancer’s mysteries goes on. And as we look forward to the CU Cancer Center’s next 40 years and beyond, we asked several of our top minds a simple question: What is one big unanswered question about cancer? Here are their answers.

14-Nov-2025 Brazilian startup creates therapeutic vaccine to block the transmission of canine visceral leishmaniasis Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo The vaccine prevents infection spread by inducing an immune response in dogs with visceral leishmaniasis. This response prevents the parasite from being transmitted to the insect vector. This means that if a sand fly bites a vaccinated dog, the parasite cannot be transmitted. Current preventive measures include the use of repellent collars and insecticides, but these options are only moderately effective. Funder Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo
14-Nov-2025 Every tree saved is a tree earned: How science is helping protect forests at COP30 CMCC Foundation - Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change “Maintaining forests is the result of genuine effort, investment, and protection capacity," says Maria Vincenza Chiriacò, CMCC researcher and an expert in COP negotiations on land use and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, as she emphasises that forests should not be taken for granted: they require organised interventions which need to be addressed at COP30. “Global forests continue to face deforestation and degradation, mainly driven by climate change- and land-use-expanding commodity production. As climate change accelerates, the risk for regions already prone to extreme events such as wildfires increases dramatically. We have to optimize efforts and financial resources, and science holds the key to this process.”
