Burn rate of a novel boron-AN-water green solid propellant
A novel composition of green solid rocket propellant has been suggested and examined. Boron powder was chosen to serve as fuel, for its very high energetic potential, which exceeds that of other common metals, as well as that of fossil fuels.

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve
