It’s a bold pitch, however, in my opinion, it’s mostly marketing.What Google actually said earlier this weekThe “intelligence system” framing wasn’t a throwaway line, it was the entire thesis of the event. Every major announcement, from Gemini Intelligence rolling out across Android to the new Googlebook laptop category, was positioned as proof that Android has moved beyond traditional…

Causing a secondary cancer may be an acceptable risk when treating a life-threatening cancer, but probably not for autoimmunity, says Matt Lunning, medical director for gene and cellular therapy at Nebraska Medicine in Omaha. How to balance the risk between the impacts of an autoimmune disease, which can range widely in severity, and the difficult-to-quantify risk of future side effects or cancers remains a major open question. Researchers are already working on second- and third-generation versions of CAR T that they expect to be safer for both cancer and autoimmunity. For example, James Howard, a neuromuscular neurologist at the University…

During the Trinity nuclear test on July 16, 1945, in the New Mexico desert—the world’s very first test of an atomic bomb—a new material spontaneously formed. It was discovered only recently, by an international research team coordinated by geologist Luca Bindi at the University of Florence, which identified the novel clathrate based on calcium, copper, and silicon. It’s a material never before observed either in nature or as an artificial compound created in the laboratory.What Are Clathrates?The term “clathrates” denotes materials characterized by a “cage-like” structure that traps other atoms and molecules inside, giving them unique properties.

There have been half a dozen official iterations of Smash Bros. over the years, but some folks just love the classics, as there’s a very dedicated community of players who still consider the original Nintendo 64 release of the game to be their favourite.
