Natural Killer Cells Swarm to Attack Cancer Thanks to New Immunotherapy
Posted by Steve Hill in category: biotech/medical
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes, immune cells which have a powerful arsenal of cytotoxic weaponry that they can use against tumors.
Unfortunately, tumors protect themselves using a protective microenvironment that shields them from attack from NK cells. This microenvironment promotes tumor growth and survival and has an immunosuppressive effect that blunts the attempts of NK cells to infiltrate the tumor and destroy it. That was until now and this new discovery.

China Has A Breakthrough in Spy-Proof Quantum Communications
Posted by Dan Kummer in categories: quantum physics, security
By sending quantum information several kilometers, the researchers took a big step toward the future of information security.
A team of Chinese researchers say they have completed the first long-distance quantum secure direct communication, a critical step toward sending messages that are truly safe from eavesdropping.
The information traveled 2.7 kilometers along a quantum channel, the team said in a paper that was peer-reviewed by China’s Science Bulletin journal and placed online Oct. 22.

Powerful tiny tanks with VR and futuristic cockpits could revolutionize the battlefield
Posted by Carse Peel in categories: augmented reality, military, virtual reality
Future U.S. military tanks may look and perform nothing like they do today.
In fact, they may not even have windows and instead seal military personnel inside a closed cockpit to better protect them against threats.
But how could they see the battlefield around them without windows? To see outside, Soldiers could use a new technology made by Honeywell that lets them “see” with virtual reality and augmented reality.
