Artificial intelligence will be used to design genetic switches that activate CAR-T cells only when they are actually located within tumor tissue, rather than in healthy tissue. This approach is intended to prevent dangerous side effects caused when immune cells attack the body’s own tissues. The most promising strategies will first be tested in ...

In their paper “Critical comments on the find complex of the so-called Nebra Sky Disc” (Archäologische Informationen 43), they claim that the hoard does not represent a “closed find”, that the Sky Disc may even not come from the determined location, and thus as a single find without context should be dated to the Iron Age (approx. 800 to 50 BC). This assumption has now been refuted by a 13-strong research team in the periodical “Archaeologia Austriaca” published by ...

    an object very precisely under a microscope, you have to use light with the shortest possible wavelength. But short wavelength means higher energy, so the movement of the particle is disturbed more strongly." You just cannot accurately measure the location and the state of motion of a particle at the same time. The product of their uncertainties is always limited by Planck's constant - this is the so-called Heisenberg uncertainty principle. However, it is possible to find ...
