Item #1: A study in mice uses a new CRISPR technique called CRISPR-LNP for “lipid nanoparticle” to attack cancer cells, increasing survival by 30% in glioblastoma and 80% in ovarian cancer.[5]
Item #2: A recent test of AI natural language processing (NLP) was able to generate coherent sentences from a list of common nouns and verbs that could not be distinguished from human-generated sentences by test subjects.[6]
Item #3: Scientists report a new technique for forming regular gem diamonds at room temperature in only minutes.[7]
