Breast cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States, right behind skin cancer. But how far have we come in understanding this disease? » Subscribe to Seeker! http://bit.ly/subscribeseeker » Watch more SICK | http://bit.ly/SICKplaylist
While breast cancer largely affects women, it can also occur in men. Fortunately, thanks to awareness, early detection, and research, survival rates have increased. But, thereâs still a lot to learn, so Seeker sat down with Professor Donald McDonnell from the Duke School of Medicine to find out more.
De novo genes are even prompting a rethink of some portions of evolutionary theory. Conventional wisdom was that new genes tended to arise when existing ones are accidentally duplicated, blended with others or broken up, but some researchers now think that de novo genes could be quite common: some studies suggest at least one-tenth of genes could be made in this way; others estimate that more genes could emerge de novo than from gene duplication. Their existence blurs the bouâŠ
Scientists long assumed that new genes appear when evolution tinkers with old ones. It turns out that natural selection is much more creative.
After years in the wilderness, Halo: The Master Chief Collection will bring Halo Reach, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3: ODST (minus the Firefight mode), Halo 3 and Halo 4 to PC.
The only previous games in the FPS series to launch on PC were Halo and Halo 2, both well over a decade ago (if you donât count the Halo Wars spin-offs). This is obviously a big moment, and it seems like Microsoft is making some good decisions in bringing them to PC: Namely launching them on Steam, rather than trapping them on the Microsoft Store (though you can buy it there too). Thereâs much more to go into below, too.
STEPHEN HAWKING declared âa supermassive black is a time machineâ and explained how a space agency like NASA could use the phenomenon to fast-forward the clocks.
With the Skydio 2 Dock, a drone-in-a-box solution, the California startup wants to let companies rely on its obstacle-dodging, self-flying drone for automated mapping and surveillance â no humans needed.
Virtual- and augmented-reality tools allow researchers to view and share data as never before. But so far, they remain largely the tools of early adopters.
