In July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the CERN Large Hadron Collider announced the observation of a Higgs boson at a mass of around 125 gigaelectronvolts. Ten years later, and with the data corre
644 tumour regions sampled at surgery or during follow-up from the first 421 patients with non-small cell lung cancer prospectively enrolled into the TRACERx study. This project aims to decipher lung cancer evolution and address the primary study endpoint: determining the relationship between...
However, the idea that there is an especially intense “Late Heavy Bombardment”between about 4 and 3.8 billion years ago, whichobliterates any life,no longer seems to be true. This means life may have begun in the first few hundred million years of Earth’s existence. 4.4 billion years ag...
However, the controversies surrounding the definition of life are probably just symptoms of a deeper problem, and unfortunately these have led to the larger issue of the classical divide on the approaches to the origin of life. Each definition of life has put its emphasis on a trait(s) expres...
The definition most commonly used was proposed by NASA: life is "a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution". Another, reminiscent of a von Neumann automata, states that "life is the harnessing of chemical energy in such a way that the energy- harnessing device makes a ...
I consider myself a “late-bloomer” when it comes to being a science-enthusiast. I didn’t grow up watching Bill Nye the Science Guy, I attended a high school where creationism was taught as an alternative to evolution, and I originally went to college to become an English teacher. Now...
“恒星-行星共演论(the theory of star-planet coevolution)”是一种全新的天体物理理论,由留美中医民科级的天体物理学爱好者-琚伟医生原创,作者以全新的科学观点成功的解释了太阳系起源的基本物理机制,并提出了太阳系在演化过程中(太阳与行星在同步性共同演化过程中)所必须遵循的基本物理定律,即,“四大恒星-行星之...
In this country, since its inception, there have been only two major competing theories, or hypotheses, that have squared off against one another, regarding “The Origins Of All Life”. CREATIONISM and EVOLUTION. Evolution is the scientific argument. (Darwin), and Creationism, which is the foun...
This allows P22 to engage in lateral transduction. Thus, at minimal expense to itself, P22 has tuned the timing of excision to balance propagation with lateral transduction, powering the evolution of its host through gene transfer in the interest of self-preservation....
Cancer develops through a process of somatic evolution1,2. Sequencing data from a single biopsy represent a snapshot of this process that can reveal the timing of specific genomic aberrations and the changing influence of mutational processes3. Here, by
