0:00So, we've been looking for this gene for like 50 years, and now these guys have finally found it. They literally took a single quantum state and then they split it into two, but then they maintained entanglement. It looks like it turns out that an extra chromosome isn't always a bad thing. >> Yeah. If you're a cancer, if you're a cancer, if you're a cancer, extra chromosomes can be really good, >> but not a Gemini. No. >> Or a Sagittarius. Hello internet. This is your captain speaking Lester Narre joined as always by my co-host and our resident PhD Krishna Chowdery. We are back in studio

0:40this week with three great main stories lined up for you along with the rundown. This week we're going to touch on a story about an overlooked plant and how it could transform medicine production. We're going to get into some quantum entanglement which is giving us superpowers to measure the impossible. And we're going to end with this new breakthrough tool called AlphaK which is helping scientists predict how cancer cells will evolve before they actually do. We are going to learn about the

    Plants, Quantum Sensors, and Predicting Cancer Evolution

    A plant enzyme breakthrough, entangled quantum sensors, and cancer evolution forecasting.

    A plant missing enzyme solves a 50-year biosynthesis mystery, entangled atomic clouds push quantum sensing beyond the SQL, and ALFA-K predicts how aneuploid cancers evolve under treatment.
