Nanoparticle and internal laser method advances cancer therapy

A research team led by Tohoku University has developed a combined nanoparticle and internal laser approach that overcomes two key barriers to photothermal cancer therapy. The method uses a redesigned protein coating to evade immune clearance and an ultra-thin endoscope to deliver laser light directly into tumors, reducing required power by 28%.

Microscale roughness cuts drag 43.6%, upending 80-year fluid dynamics principle

Researchers at Tohoku University achieved up to 43.6% aerodynamic drag reduction by applying irregular microscale surface textures, overturning an 80-year assumption that smoother surfaces always reduce drag. The breakthrough, published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, could lead to more fuel-efficient vehicles across aviation, automotive, marine, and rail sectors.

New C-glycoside synthesis method offers radical alternative

A team led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, has developed a novel radical-based approach to synthesizing C-glycoside molecules, reported in Nature on July 22, 2026. The method uses a photoredox catalyst to form carbon-carbon bonds directly, bypassing traditional multi-step pathways. This could streamline production of carbohydrate-based drugs and natural products.
