Padcev (enfortumab vedotin) and Keytruda (pembrolizumab) offer new hope as a combination therapy for metastatic urothelial carcinoma, a severe bladder cancer. The combination therapy has shown an 86% disease control rate and a 68% objective response rate, with 79% of patients maintaining

D-Wave has developed the first blockchain system using quantum computers, introducing “proof of quantum work” (PoQ) to reduce energy consumption dramatically. PoQ leverages quantum mechanics to solve complex puzzles with significantly less energy than traditional proof of work systems. Quantum blockchain operations

Major tech companies like Amazon, IBM, Google, Intel, Microsoft, and Nvidia are leading the charge in developing quantum technology, joined by smaller players like Rigetti, IonQ, and D-Wave Quantum Inc. An estimated $50 billion has been pledged globally to advance quantum research,

MIT researchers have developed a groundbreaking interconnect device for quantum communication, enabling “all-to-all” connectivity. This innovation allows seamless quantum information transfer between processors, bypassing traditional point-to-point limitations. The device facilitates efficient remote entanglement, crucial for scalable quantum systems, by precisely controlling microwave

The Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, Gaza’s only specialized cancer facility, has been destroyed, affecting up to 30,000 cancer patients annually. Israel claims the hospital was used by Hamas as a combat zone, a controversial assertion lacking concrete evidence. The destruction marks an escalation

Women face significant disparities in oncology, from diagnosis delays due to systemic biases to underrepresentation in medical research and leadership. A 2015 study shows that barriers in cancer care are more pronounced among older, non-White, non-English speaking, and uninsured women. Women comprise

A groundbreaking cancer vaccine from Tufts University enhances the immune system’s ability to target and annihilate cancer cells. The vaccine employs a lysate of protein fragments from solid tumors, allowing it to target various cancers, including melanoma and breast cancer. Innovative use

Quantum computing, once science fiction, is becoming a reality, potentially surpassing the impact of artificial intelligence. Qubits, capable of multiple states, offer the potential to solve problems beyond today’s supercomputers, despite challenges in reducing error rates. At Nvidia’s GTC conference, quantum innovations

Nvidia is launching a quantum computing research lab in Boston to fuse quantum physics and traditional computing strengths. Partnerships with Harvard, MIT, and companies like Quantinuum and Quantum Machines aim to drive quantum innovation. CEO Jensen Huang noted that quantum computing advancements
