Deciphering the function of oncogenic KRAS has been a central objective in cancer biology. For over four decades, mutations were thought lock KRAS oncoproteins in a constitutive or persistently active state. Piro Litos work has challenged this assumption to reveal new mechanisms leading to the physiologic inactivation of mutant KRAS…

Bakkers and Fadaly have made a revolutionary breakthrough by creating a silicon-based material that proved to be capable of emitting light efficiently and can thus be used for laser devices and high-speed communication. At Falling Walls, they were focussing on how changing the molecular structure of silicon allows data to…
