Magnetic Seeds Used to Heat and Kill Cancer MRI scanners revolutionized diagnostics when they were first built in the early 1980s. Now, over 40 years later, these same machines could herald a new revolution in therapeutics. A team at University College London have shown that a new MRI cancer therapy using tiny magnetic “seeds” can non-invasively target and kill cancer cells. The “seeds”, or thermoseeds, are remotely heated when they have reached their target, and it is this heat which kills the cancer cells. Publishing in Advanced Science, the technique was tested on mice and is dubbed MINIMA (minimally invasive image-guided ablation). If translated into human trials, MINIMA MRI cancer therapy has the potential to give doctors a powerful tool in fighting cancer. @Sci_Strangeries

No Noble prize for Maths,but WHY? One of the most groundless reasons for that was the fact that Alfred Nobel (founder of Noble prize) declared his love for a woman who refused him and chose a mathematician instead. However, there is no evidence about the truth of this story. It is thought that the most valid reason is that Alfred Nobel didn’t give much importance to Maths. He didn’t consider it to be a practical subject that would favour humanity. His will talked about “Inventions and Findings” of a great practical benefit for humanity and Maths was consider by him to be a subject with too much theoretical features.

Where is all the lithium? Early in the Universe when temperatures were incredibly high, isotopes of hydrogen, helium, and lithium were synthesized in abundance. Hydrogen and helium are still incredibly abundant and make up nearly all of the mass in the Universe, though there is only about a third of the lithium-7 that we should see. There are a wide variety of explanations for why this might have happened, including some hypotheses involving hypothetical bosons known as axions, and others believe it is trapped in the core of stars, which our current telescopes and instruments can’t detect. However, there are currently no clear front running theories to explain this absence of lithium in the Universe. @Sci_Strangeries

Sorry guys last quiz had wrong answer

The Times newspaper reported: On the first application of the process to the face, the jaw of the deceased criminal began to quiver, the adjoining muscles were horribly contorted, and one eye was actually opened. In the subsequent part of the process, the right hand was raised and clenched, and the legs and thighs were set in motion.

On January 17 1803, a young man named George Forster was hanged for murder at Newgate prison in London. After his execution, as often happened, his body was carried ceremoniously across the city to the Royal College of Surgeons. An Italian natural philosopher Giovanni Aldini, the nephew of Luigi Galvani, who discovered “animal electricity” in 1780, and for whom the field of galvanism is named. With Forster on the slab before him, Aldini and his assistants started to experiment.

we got some moderators now hope it'll get relive soon- @Sci_Strangeries

Hot ice is a thing! About 33 light-years away is an exoplanet called Gliese 436 b. The planet is composed of different water elements, which form burning ice. In other words, the ice on the planet remains solid due to pressure, while the extreme surface temperature of 570° F (300° C) super-heats the water, causing it to come off as steam. Imagine putting ice in your coffee to heat it up! @Sci_Strangeries

A battle between aliens: What did fishermen see in 1665? On April 8, 1665, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, fishermen anchored near Bachfert noticed not just strange objects in the sky, but a real battle. A whole fleet of flying machines were bombarding each other. One of the researchers of this event gathered a description of what was happening a few years later: "After a while, a flat round shape resembling a saucer or a hat appeared in the sky. It was darker than the moon and hovered directly over St. Nicholas Church. It hung until late in the evening. Local fishermen told of a battle over the water. They were so frightened they didn't want to look and covered their faces with their hands. A few days later many of those watching got headaches and shivers. Recall that this is not the first time people have seen a battle in the air. For example, the astronomical phenomenon in Nuremberg, which occurred in 1561, is also regarded as an example of an alien battle. @Sci_Strangeries

The mystery of the "cell phone of the ancient Sumerians" discovered during excavations in Austria Archaeologists discovered it during excavations in the Fuschl am See in the Austrian county of Salzburg. Dozens of news portals reported that the artifact found is very similar to the modern "Nokia". Some specified that the cell phone is not real, but made of clay - a kind of copy. That is, it has never been called. Instead of Arabic numerals, the "buttons" have Sumerian cuneiform, which was in use about five thousand years ago. It also appears on the "display. In the sources of the current information is fair to say: the presence of a clay copy, does not lift the veil of mystery. After all, if it - a copy - was made in prehistoric times, then there was no less ancient original. But most likely it was the work of some joker. All means are good in the pursuit of views and likes. @Sci_Strangeries

Lightning Mysteries According to science, lightning is just a type of electrical discharge, which usually occurs during a thunderstorm. It seems to be simple, but lightning often poses such puzzles that even venerable scientists have no idea what to do with it. For example, they sometimes manage to leave a kind of photographic imprint on the human body, which scientists call "Lichtenberg figures. Often they look like birds' feathers, trees or leaves. What remains unclear is the ability of lightning to vaporize a person's underwear while leaving outerwear intact. Sometimes lightning can vaporize a metal ring on a hand or a cross around the neck, leaving a person alive. Sometimes lightning shaves off all a person's hair or gives him superpowers, and one American man after being struck by lightning completely ceased to feel cold and now even in subzero temperatures he wears summer clothes. There are absolutely incredible cases when lightning gave back the lost vision to blind people. @Sci_Strangeries
