Understanding how metastasis works.
In the universal fight against cancer, metastasis is one of the most unpleasant factors that could make matters even worse; and there is still much to comprehend in the spread process. Cambridge scientists might have unveiled a breakthrough in understanding how metastasis works.
The research has been published in the journal Nature Genetics.

The researchers brilliantly demonstrated, for the very first time, how to chemically transform an abundant, plant-based starting material into EBC-46.
In what can be called a major scientific breakthrough, Stanford researchers have discovered a “rapid and sustainable” way to synthetically produce a promising cancer-fighting compound, designated EBC-46, right in the lab, according to a press release published by the institution.
This was “something many people had considered impossible,” as the compound’s only currently known source is a single plant species that grows solely in a small rainforest region of Northeastern Australia.
Researchers discovered SuperAgers have larger and healthier neurons that allow them to stay mentally sharp.
SuperAgers have super-neurons to thank for their incredible memories as they age, according to a recent study.

The Twitter founder, who is a long-time friend of Musk, appears to be quite welcoming of Musk’s decision to buy the company and also texted him on April 5, when he learned that Musk would join the Twitter board, the records put in Delaware Court of Chancery, where a five trial is scheduled to begin on October 17 show.
The company targets a price of $3 per passenger per mile.
The first self-flying, all-electric, four-passenger eVTOL air taxi in the world was unveiled by the California-based Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) company Wisk Aero. Generation 6 is Wisk’s go-to-market aircraft and the first autonomous eVTOL to be a candidate for type approval by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The most sophisticated air taxi in the world, Generation 6 combines one of the safest passenger transport systems in commercial aviation with industry-leading autonomous technology and software, human oversight of every trip, and a generally streamlined design.
This is pioneering work for quantum teleportation as well making entanglement the main way for quantum teleportation communications in the future.
Award goes to three experimental physicists whose pioneering research has laid the groundwork for quantum information science.

The super heavy-lift Long March 9 rocket could send humans to the Moon and Mars.
China successfully tested a new engine for its Long March 9 rocket, which it aims to eventually use to send the first crewed Chinese mission to the Moon.
The China National Space Administration (CNSA) said it has overcome technical difficulties in building its first prototype Yf-79 engine for the rocket.

Announced very recently, the new sort of steel was created by MIT undergraduates and their graduate student mentor in Germany, not for the construction of the cars but for the die-casting molds that stamp them out in just a few distinct pieces.
Will Filippo Ganna be able to break the record with this bike?
Globally known Italian bicycle manufacturer Pinarello has unveiled a new 3D printed bicycle, “Bolide F HR 3D.” Produced as the fastest one in its field, Italian track and road cyclist Filippo Ganna is preparing to use the bike for his upcoming attempt at the UCI Hour Record.
Pinarello says this enabled it “to introduce new shapes and features that are impossible to replicate” using existing carbon fiber construction techniques.
The Bolide F HR 3D was created expressly for Ganna’s attempt at the UCI Hour Record, which tests cyclists’ endurance by measuring how far they can go on a velodrome track in one hour, as New Scientist reported.
