A new ultra-efficient microchip developed at MIT enables resource-constrained wireless biomedical devices to implement post-quantum encryption protocols that can defend against cyberattacks from powerful quantum computers.
When supermarkets choose the right strategy for surplus food, they can both reduce food waste and improve their bottom line. An analysis from the University of Copenhagen shows that it is often more profitable to donate surplus food than to throw it away. In many cases, doing so leads to a direct financial gain.
This study introduces TEAM (Targeted Elimination and Microcell-Mediated Transfer), a novel programmable platform that enables precise chromosome replacement in mammalian cells. By combining CRISPR/Cas9-mediated chromosome elimination with microcell-mediated chromosome transfer (MMCT), researchers successfully demonstrated intra-species chromosome stability while uncovering fundamental barriers to cross-species chromosome engineering.
