A protein that helps lethal skin cancer spread through the body has been identified, according to scientists, offering new hope for cancer treatment. Protein LAP1 allows cancer cells to become more aggressive by letting them change the shape of their nucleus and migrate around the body. The most serious type of cancer cells, melanoma, was found to harbour LAP1 and high levels of it were linked to poor prognosis.
A new study finds that giant neutron stars can exist for a few milliseconds in a merger.
An international team led by researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), Spain, has found two planets with Earth-like masses in the habitable zone of a red dwarf star, just 16 light years from our own Solar System.

“Nature seems bent on showing us that Earth-like planets are very common,” explains Alejandro Suárez Mascareño, an IAC researcher, first author of a study that appears in Astronomy & Astrophysics. “With these two, we now know seven in planetary systems quite near to the Sun.”
Pioneering Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplants (HSCT) For Autoimmune Disorders — Dr. Richard K. Burt
Dr. Richard K. Burt MD (https://astemcelljourney.com/about/drrichardburt/) is a Fulbright Scholar, Professor of Medicine at Scripps Health Care, tenured retired Professor of Medicine at Northwestern University where he served as Chief of Immunotherapy and Autoimmune Diseases, and CEO of Genani Biotechnology.
Dr. Burt endeavored for thirty-five years, first with animal models and then with some of the world’s first clinical trials, to bring the field of stem cell and cellular therapy to the patient’s bedside.
If we extract the hydrogen from a litre of seawater, we get twice as much hydrogen in volume compared to the water.
Nanjing Tech researchers have invented a technology that overcomes the challenges that previous efforts faced with a novel solution.
Interesting Engineering met up with Ploonet at CES 2023 to develop a language-agnostic digital clone.
The virtual world is one of the most high-anticipated emerging technologies on the planet. In particular, virtual humans are predicted to have a $527.58 billion market by 2030 as their use grows in several industries, including entertainment, business, and retail.
One company that caught our eye at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023 was Ploonet-a subsidiary of artificial intelligence (AI) Korean-based firm Saltlux. Agard/Interesting Engineering/Ploonet.
The brand’s Less Microfiber Cycle comes with a new filter.
Aiming to bring about a new era of sustainable living, Samsung has unveiled new innovations in washing technology that helps to reduce microplastic emissions from washers at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023, which concluded in Las Vegas.
A typical cycle in a washing machine produces shreds of microplastics due to the friction between the clothes and the tumbler. The microplastics generated are often drained out into water bodies, resulting in pollution that can cause harm to both humans and animals in the long run.
The method would charge drones while their airborne, meaning they would never have to land.
A team of researchers from the Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) in China has developed a method for using high-energy laser beams to keep drones airborne “forever,” according to a report from The South China Morning Post.
Laser-powered drones could remain aloft “forever”.

A modified Boeing 747 aircraft, nicknamed Cosmic Girl, will launch a rocket from under its wing around midnight local time.
S SpaceX works towards the first orbital launch of its fully reusable Starship rocket, Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Orbit is looking to perform the first-ever orbital launch from British soil.
If all goes to plan, the Virgin Orbit launch will kickstart an exciting year for the British space industry.
A powerful solar flare hit Earth last week, causing a radio blackout over parts of Australia and the South Pacific last week, CNET reported. This is one of the most powerful flares seen since October last year and might be a sign of what is coming next.
A solar flare is an eruption of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun’s surface. According to the European Space Agency, flares occur when energy stored in magnetic fields on the solar surface is suddenly released.
