Scientists uncover simple strategies for keeping foams on walls
Researchers have uncovered a unique mechanism by which foams on walls drain and slip over time. They showed how a foam can lose liquid via 'pinch-off', like droplets from a faucet, finding that the amount of liquid and the extent of the foam determine exactly how it drains.

Lower, more frequent doses of nanomedicines may enhance cancer treatment
New research indicates that nanomedicine may provide additional benefits if it's administered at lower, more frequent doses - called metronomic dosing - rather than the standard maximum tolerated dose of current treatments.
