Environmental phenomena and their consequences can disrupt social structures and destabilize political systems. An interdisciplinary research team demonstrated this using the example of the late Tang dynasty in medieval China.
Guan’s group reports a nanorobot with ultrasensitive chemotaxis for precision cancer therapy. After intravenous injection, the nanorobots achieved a 209-fold increase in tumor targeting efficiency compared with conventional passive nanocarriers. When loaded with only 1% of the dose of anticancer drugs, the nanorobots achieved a tumor growth inhibition rate of up to 92.7%. The nanorobots boost the tumor suppression efficacy by approximately 49-fold compared with the passive counterparts.
“End-of-life experiences” is the theme of the 2026 edition of the “Behind and Beyond the Brain” Symposium, promoted by the Bial Foundation, which will take place from April 8 to 11 at Casa do Médico, in Porto, Portugal, and for which registrations are now open. The symposium aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue between different approaches — scientific, philosophical, and cultural — to explore what is scientifically known about the biological processes that occur when life ends, how different cultures interpret death, and whether the experience of death can alter our understanding of reality.
