Some of the first Cybertruck owners are already customizing their vehicles with wraps and tints

The Cybertruck has only been out for a month, and in limited numbers, but some Tesla owners are already customizing their vehicles.

New Cybertrucks are getting colored wraps, window tints, and protective coverings. Joe Torbati, the owner of OCDetailing in Fremont, California, told Business Insider he’d received dozens of reachouts after posting a series of YouTube videos showing work he’d done for a new owner on their vehicle.

“We’ve probably been getting about 10 Cybertruck-related emails or contacts per day,” Torbati said. “Though, it’s not the traditional reason you would wrap a car, which would be to protect it — the point of this is more for just aesthetics,” he added.

Is nuclear fusion the future of clean energy?

Fusion is a kind of nuclear power, which could revolutionise how clean energy is produced. As a new wave of experiments heats up, can fusion live up to the hype?

NH Bill Seeks to Ban Cloud Seeding and Other Forms of Atmospheric Geoengineering

Every legislative session is presented with too many bills and, in recent years, too slim of a majority to get the good ones to the Governor. But because we have so many new ideas, there are always some you might not expect, like legislation to ban weather modification.

To be clear, I’m not making fun of the bill or its sponsors. In a world where some folks can’t shut up about unnecessary “emissions” or pollutants in our atmosphere, this should play well on both sides of the aisle. New Hampshire House Bill 1,700 (HB1700).

Blood Test Uses Fragmentomics to Detect Liver Cancer

Another advantage of fragmentomics is that it requires much less blood than other liquid biopsy tests, she added.

The fragmentomics approach is also appealing because it requires only a blood draw, Dr. Greten noted, which is typically faster, easier to get, and less expensive than an ultrasound.

Fragmentomics is a next-generation liquid biopsy approach, said Dr. Velculescu. And it can potentially be used to detect other kinds of cancer, in addition to those the team has already studied, he added.

Cancer Treating Nano-Drones

This post is also available in: he עברית (Hebrew)

A research team from UNIST has made a discovery that might revolutionize cancer treatment as we know it-new cell-engaging nano-drones that were designed to target and eliminate cancer cells selectively.

These tiny bots are called NK cell-engaging nano-drones (NKeNDs), and their success lies in their ability to engage natural killer (NK) cells, the body’s frontline defenders against cancer. Using NK cells in cancer treatment is not new, but what sets these nanodrones apart is their precision. They are engineered to zero in on cancer cells almost like guided missiles.
