Researchers looking for materials that conduct electrons with near-zero resistance at normal operating temperature have found a promising candidate. The material, a layered "sandwich" of bismuth telluride and manganese bismuth telluride structure, exhibits the quantum anomalous Hall effect. In this effect, electrons with their spins all aligned in the same direction can travel along the edges of a material with almost no resistance.
Researchers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center identified a substantial increase over the past decade in the proportion of patients with cancer in the U.S. who participate in pharmaceutical industry sponsored clinical trials compared to those conducted with federal government support. Published in The Journal of Clinical Oncology and presented at the ASCO Quality Care Symposium, these findings reveal trends of underinvestment in federally funded studies, flat enrollment counts in federally funded studies over more than a decade and a growing reliance on industry to conduct cancer research.

Sophia Friesen Mental health issues are one of the most common causes of disability, affecting more than a billion people worldwide. Addressing mental health difficulties can present extraordinarily tough problems: what can providers do to help people in the most precarious situations? How do changes in the physical brain affect our thoughts and experiences? And at the end of the day, how can everyone get the care they need? Answering those questions was the shared goal of the researchers who attended the Mental Health, Brain, and Behavioral Science Research Day in September.
