A Cancer Gene May Be More Friendly Than We Thought | SciShow News

The video discusses new research on telomerase, an enzyme that affects cell aging and cancer. It highlights a study on lab mice showing telomerase's role in cellular health and its unexpected effects on cancer and lifespan. The video also explores a new concept called coherent virtual absorption, which involves capturing and releasing mechanical waves, potentially impacting engineering and technology. Finally, it announces a new DFTBA pin featuring a retro Viking Lander design.

What is coherent virtual absorption and why is it significant?

How did the scientists test the concept of capturing and releasing mechanical waves?
