Scientists studied the classical theory of gravity and quantum mechanics

The researchers, through their calculations, found the uncertainty relation induced by the noise of gravitons – hypothetical quantities of gravity and elementary particles that mediate the force of gravitational interaction – taking a step forward towards unifying the classical theory of gravity and quantum mechanics. While classical physics is a set of rules and equations that describe how normal objects behave, quantum physics describes the world of atoms and smaller objects. Mr. Soham Sen and Prof. Sunandan Gangopadhyay from the Department of Astrophysics (IIA) and High Energy Physics at S.N.…

Indian researchers have discovered a new cancer treatment that will reduce the need for chemotherapy

Scientists at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), Mohali, an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology, have shown that combining heat-based treatment with ultra-small magnetic nanoparticles (MDs) can help reduce chemotherapy doses and avert its side effects. The team used MDs along with heat shock protein 90 inhibitors (HSP90i) at sub-optimal doses for effective magnetic hyperthermia-based cancer therapy – combined magnetic hyperthermia and chemotherapy (MHCT). In rat models, the combination resulted in maximum glioma cell death. Within 8 days, tumor inhibition rates at the primary…
