Science partnerships between Portugal and top U.S. universities under threat
A trio of long-running research partnerships between the government of Portugal and top U.S. universities faces an uncertain future amid concerns that their costs outweigh their benefits.
Last month, the leaders of Portugal’s universities asked the government to suspend the partnerships—which have existed since 2006—until an evaluation determines whether they should continue in their current form. The request has left some scientists concerned about the future of the program.
“I’m worried for the country,” says Marco Bravo, executive director of the University of Texas (UT) at Austin Portugal Progra...

Webb Space Telescope Spots Most Distant Black Hole Yet. More May be Lurking
(CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.) — Astronomers have discovered the most distant black hole yet using the Webb Space Telescope, but that record isn’t expected to last.
The black hole is at the center of a galaxy dating to within a mere 570 million years of the Big Bang. That’s 100 million years closer to the beginning of the cosmos than a black hole observed in 2021 with a telescope in Chile led by a Chinese team.
Webb already has spotted other black holes that appear to be even closer to the Big Bang nearly 14 billion years ago, but those findings are still under review, said University of Texas at Austin astronome...

Extra chromosomes —long a mystery in tumors—may help them grow
Cancer cells are sloppy with their DNA, often gaining entire chromosomes as they proliferate. Now, researchers have found that this extra DNA can rev up the cells' growth and stymie one of the body's main anticancer defenses. This chromosomal hoarding may leave some tumors susceptible to certain drugs, however, opening the possibility of tailored treatments.
The study, in which researchers used gene editing to compare cells with and without extra chromosomes, "is important, it's novel, and it was carried out in a very elegant way," says cell biologist Uri Ben-David of Tel Aviv University, who wasn't connected to the ...
