But why do some solutions, despite their potential, struggle to gain traction? A new study suggests that personal change thresholds may be the key to understanding why people resist change. By measuring individual thresholds for change, researchers can better understand how to overcome resistance and implement new policies.

Cancer treatment has long been a daunting challenge, but researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have made a significant breakthrough. Nanobodies, miniature proteins derived from camel antibodies, have shown great promise in accurately delivering radioisotopes to tumors. These tiny tools, first discovered in 1989, have a simple and stable structure, allowing them to penetrate solid tumors with ease.
