Black men 鈥� including transit workers 鈥� are targets for aggression on public transportation, study shows

Black men on buses and trains 鈥� whether as passengers or transit workers 鈥� face hostile encounters that threaten their sense of safety and well-being, according to a new study by a Keough School of Global Affairs sociologist at the University of Notre Dame. By reinforcing racist tropes that they are dangerous or invisible, these encounters can also erode Black men鈥檚 sense of dignity and self-worth.

Researchers Obtain the First High-Precision Mass Measurement of Aluminum-22

Department of Energy, Office of Science

Researchers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams made a high-precision mass measurement of aluminum-22, reaching the 鈥減roton dripline鈥� of the nuclear chart. The project found that aluminum-22 formed a proton halo, where the last proton added is only loosely bound to the nucleus. This measurement helps scientists determine how tightly bound the atomic nuclei are as they get closer to the dripline.

More Patients Opting for Close Monitoring of Early Stage Prostate Cancer

Yale Cancer Center/Smilow Cancer Hospital

Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men (behind skin cancer), with varying levels of aggressiveness. It鈥檚 also the second leading cause of cancer death, behind only lung cancer. A new study led by Yale Cancer Center researchers at Yale School Medicine found a substantial increase in the adoption of active surveillance (AS) and watchful waiting (WW) treatment strategies over the past decade 鈥� an encouraging trend for men seeking less invasive treatment options.

Accessing the Lesser Known Nucleon

Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility

Protons and neutrons鈥搆nown collectively as nucleons鈥揳re both the building blocks of matter, but one of these particles has received a bit more attention in certain types of nuclear physics experiments. Until now. New results published in Physical Review Letters describe a first-time direct glimpse of the internal structure of the neutron thanks to the development of a special, 10-years-in-the-making detector installed in Experimental Hall B at Jefferson Lab.

New Technology Points to Unexpected Uses for snoRNA

University of Chicago Biological Sciences Division

Researchers from the University of Chicago recently developed a new approach for identifying new cellular RNA targets of snoRNAs. They uncovered thousands of previously unknown targets for snoRNAs in human cells and mouse brain tissues, including many that serve functions other than guiding rRNA modifications.
