Voiceover: It's time for Science or Fiction.
Theme: 2020 News Items
Item #1: A review of the evidence supports the conclusion that when Pluto formed it was hot enough to contain liquid water, some of which likely still exists as subsurface liquid water.[6]
Item #2: An extensive analysis finds that all vertebrate genes analyzed so far share a common, if remote, gene ancestor.[7]
Item #3: Scientists developed a nanoparticle that can target atherosclerotic plaques in arteries, triggering the destruction of cellular debris and stabilizing the plaque, which would potentially reduce the risk of heart attacks.[8]
