Researchers have discovered a way to make the immune system’s T cells significantly more effective at fighting cancer. By blocking a protein called Ant2, they were able to reprogram how these cells consume and generate energy—essentially rewiring their internal power supply. This shift makes T cells more active, resilient, and better at attacking tumors. The findings open the door to new treatments that could strengthen the body’s own immune response, offering a smarter, more targeted approach to cancer therapy.

A team of scientists has developed a powerful new way to detect subtle magnetic signals in common metals like copper, gold, and aluminum—using nothing more than light and a clever technique. Their research, recently published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications, could pave the way for advances in everything from smartphones to quantum computing.

The Longstanding Puzzle: Why Can’t We See the Optical Hall Effect?

From addiction to everyday decision-making, impulsivity shapes much of our behavior. A new study reveals how dopamine, reward size, and learned expectations combine to push us toward premature actions—even when we know better. By showing that impulsivity rises with the value of anticipated rewards, the research offers a new framework for understanding why we sometimes sabotage our own best interests.
