JWST Improves Its Detection Techniques, But Fails To Find Planets at Epsilon Eridani

Sometimes in science a negative result is just as important as a positive one. And sometimes data artifacts get the better of even the best space observatories. Both of those ideas seem to hold true for the James Webb Space Telescope’s recent observation of Epsilon Eridani, one of our nearest stars, and one that has decades worth of debate about whether there is a planet orbiting it or not. Unfortunately, while JWST’s NIRCam did find some interesting features, they were too close to a noise source in the telescope's instruments to be definitively labeled a “planet”. Their results were recently published on arXiv, and while it may sound disappointing, this type of work is exactly how science progresses.

Inouye Solar Telescope Sees Unprecedented Fine Details in Coronal Flare Loops

Astronomers using the Visible Broadband Imager at NSF’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope captured dark coronal loop strands with unprecedented clarity during the decay phase of an X1.3-class flare on August 8, 2024. The loops averaged 48.2 km in width — perhaps as thin as 21 km — the smallest coronal loops ever imaged. This marks a potential breakthrough in resolving the fundamental scale of solar coronal loops and pushing the limits of flare modeling into an entirely new realm. Astronomers at the Inouye observe sunlight at the H-alpha wavelength (656.28 nm) to view specific features of the Sun, revealing details not visible in other types of solar observations. “This is the first time the Inouye Solar Telescope has ever observed an X-class flare,” said Dr. Cole Tamburri, an astronomer with the University of Colorado Boulder. “These flares are among the most energetic events our star produces, and we were fortunate to catch this one under perfect observing conditions.” https://www.sci.news/astronomy/inouye-solar-telescope-coronal-flare-loops-14162.html

Scientists discover a strange new magnet that bends light like magic

Researchers have uncovered the magnetic properties and underlying mechanisms of a novel magnet using advanced optical techniques. Their study focused on an organic crystal believed to be a promising candidate for an "altermagnet"- a recently proposed third class of magnetic materials. Unlike conventional ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, altermagnets exhibit unique magnetic behavior. "Unlike typical magnets that attract each other, altermagnets do not exhibit net magnetization, yet they can still influence the polarization of reflected light," points out Satoshi Iguchi, associate professor at Tohoku University's Institute for Materials Research. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/08/250824031547.htm

Actuate Therapeutics Advances A New Era In Oncology With Potential Universal Backbone Therapy

Vexing challenges await cancer researchers every day — not just in finding new molecules — but now, increasingly, in finding new ways to make tumors more vulnerable to existing drugs.Tumors have their own defense mechanisms, designed to thwart therapeutic intruders, and the immune system is often unable to mount an effective response. Image credit: Shutterstock.Dozens of companies are working in this area but Actuate Therapeutics (NASDAQ:ACTU) reports it has made more progress than any other, especially when it comes to difficult-to-treat tumors like metastatic ductal pancreatic cancer.One current standard of care for this diagnosis is gemcitabine combined with nab-paclitaxel, a drug developed 13 years ago by Celgene as Abraxane (now owned by Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY). It won FDA approval after a phase 3 trial showed that the combination (generically called GnP) increased overall survival of metastatic pancreatic cancer patients by nearly two months (8.5 vs. 6.7) compared to gemcitabine alone. GnP still remains one of the most widely prescribed front-line chemotherapeutics for pancreatic cancer, with $1.8 billion in sales last year. In cancer research, building on key advances can be a productive strategy.So, armed with that idea and a large body of preclinical and mechanistic data, Actuate created a program that would add a third agent — its GSK-3β inhibitor elraglusib (elra) – to the GnP combination with the goal of creating a new first-line therapy that could achieve better outcomes than GnP alone in the setting of metastatic pancreatic cancer.Game-Changing ResultsThe plan paid off. At this year's ASCO, Actuate reported positive topline results of a 286-patient phase 2 clinical trial of elra+GnP in metastatic ductal pancreatic cancer patients randomized 2:1 to elra+GnP or GnP alone.–For patients in the elra+GnP arm, median overall survival increased by almost three months to 10.1 months vs 7.2 months for GnP alone, with an overall 37% reduction in the risk of death. –44.1% of patients in the elra+GnP arm were alive at Year 1, double the number (22.3%) in the GnP alone arm.The results suggest a promising end to a 13-year drought of major advances in treating metastatic pancreatic cancer, and the potential of a new platform for boosting drug performance in many other malignancies. A layman's explanation of what is happening might read something like this: elra appears to have the ability to make cold tumors hot/more visible to the patient's immune system, amping up a targeted immune response and downregulating the tumor's natural defenses, enabling anti-cancer agents to penetrate tumors and kill malignant cells faster and deeper than previously possible. Such features may also finally make checkpoint immune therapy effective in pancreatic tumors, typically among the "coldest" of all.With Notable DurabilityThe benefits of Actuate's elra were also compelling at 18 and 24 months. The 18-month survival rate was 19.7% for the elra+GnP arm vs. 4.4% for the GnP alone arm. At 24 months, 13.8% of patients in the elra+GnP arm were alive vs. none in the GnP alone arm. There were even some cases in which investigators said patients on elra+GnP became eligible for Whipple procedures, complex surgeries to remove the head of the pancreas. That's typically not the case for patients getting chemotherapy alone. "Based on the clear clinical benefit and a ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

Scientists Detect Precise Origin of Mysterious Signal From Deep Space

For almost two decades, astronomers have been breaking their heads, trying to explain extremely bright flashes of radio bursts emanating from deep space. Despite only flashing for a tiny fraction of a second, fast radio bursts (FRBs) have been known to release as much energy as the Sun puts out in an entire year. In what's being called a major "turning point," an international team of researchers has traced back the location of the origin of one of the brightest FRBs ever detected, allowing them to glean invaluable insights into the baffling phenomenon. As detailed in a pair of new [...]
