Commented on World University Rankings
The world’s best universities in 2024 have been unveiled. European and North American universities dominate QS World Rankings 2024, with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) securing the top position for the 12th year. China is becoming a research hub. EU universities continue to excel in internationalization metrics. https://www.euronews.com/next/2023/08/05/the-worlds-best-universities-in-2024-have-been-unveiled-5-of-the-top-10-are-in-europe What other trends can you see in the university rankings?

Calico, a miniature relocatable wearable system with fast and precise locomotion for on-body interaction, actuation and sensing. Calico consists of a two-wheel robot and an on-cloth track mechanism or "railway," on which the robot travels. The robot is self-contained, small in size, and has additional sensor expansion options. The track system allows the robot to move along the user’s body and reach any predetermined location. It also includes rotational switches to enable complex routing options when diverging tracks are presented. https://smartlab.cs.umd.edu/publication/calico What are any possible applications?

The City of Hope-developed investigational small molecule selectively disrupts DNA replication and repair in cancer cells, leaving healthy cells unaffected, a new study reports. a really interesting new paper in Cell Chemical Biology, which is also getting some pickup in the wider press. It’s about a molecule designated AOH1996, which seems to have a unique mode of action in tumor cells, one that might make it more more selective for those as compared to normal ones. The researchers tested AOH1996, a small molecule PCNA inhibitor, in more than 70 cancer cell lines and several normal control cells. They found that AOH1996 selectively kills cancer cells by disrupting the normal cell reproductive cycle. It targets something called transcription replication conflicts, which occur when mechanisms responsible for gene expression and genome duplication collide. The investigational therapy prevented cells with damaged DNA from dividing in G2/M phase and from making a copy of faulty DNA in S phase. As a result, AOH1996 caused cancer cell death (apoptosis), but it did not interrupt the reproductive cycle of healthy stem cells. https://www.cell.com/cell-chemical-biology/fulltext/S2451-9456(23)00221-0?rss=yes Any comments?

While Concorde may have offered supersonic transatlantic flights, startups like Destinus and Hermeus have ambitions to ferry passengers hypersonically at 5 times the speed of sound. That would enable you to travel from Sydney to Frankfurt in 4 hours as opposed to 20. But right now the companies are still building small models and testing engines. https://youtu.be/N57oXfwEoxo So will hypersonic flight ever be a reality?
