UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are the globally-accepted first-line treatments for malaria — a mosquito-borne disease caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite that annually kills around 600,000 people, mostly children. Yet resistance to ACTs by P. falciparum has emerged in recent years in Africa, threatening their effectiveness. To slow this resistance and reduce treatment failures, an international research team led by Penn State investigated various drug policy interventions in Rwanda, where artemisinin resistance was first reported in 2020.

Scientists have 'reset the clock' for craters on the Moon, meaning that parts of its surface – which characterise the children's story of the Man in the Moon - are around 200 million years older than had been thought. Researchers from Norway and France have found a way of coordinating and recalibrating two conflicting systems of dating the surface of the Moon. This new evaluation shows that large parts of the crust of the Moon are around 200 million years older than had been thought and allows the scientists to clarify the sequence of events in the evolution of the Moon's surface.

They are street buskers, waiters and food delivery bikers, but every Sunday they are members of Spain's most unusual orchestra — founded by Venezuelans fleeing the collapse of their country's economy. Manuel Jurado, conductor of the Cruz Diez Orchestra, confesses that he was called 'crazy' when, battling a profound depression after being uprooted from a comfortable life in Caracas as a professional musician, he decided to form the ensemble. 'How could I do this, people told me, when I hardly even had enough money to pay for a room to sleep in, that I was going to form an orchestra? But I persisted, I went looking in the streets and today, four years later, we are 75 musicians with 30 concerts to our name.
