Viable superconducting material created in University of Rochester lab

Researchers at the University of Rochester have created a nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride that exhibits superconductivity at 69 degrees Fahrenheit and 10 kilobars of pressure. This breakthrough material has the potential to enable practical applications, as it reduces the required pressure for superconductivity to occur.

Clinical score can guide PRRT therapy decisions for neuroendocrine tumors

A clinical score system developed by Vanderbilt researchers can guide PRRT treatment decisions, indicating that patients with a score of 4 or less may experience improved progression-free and overall survival. The study suggests that a minimum of three doses are needed to achieve meaningful DNA damage in neuroendocrine tumors.
