➂ B300系列AI GPU预计将在今年下半年推出，下一代Rubin AI GPU预计将于2026年推出。

➀ Researchers at Penn State have developed a method to deliver sound to a specific location without headphones, creating private listening zones.

➁ The technology uses two ultrasonic beams focused by acoustic metasurfaces to form an audible enclave where only the intended listener can hear.

➂ The system has potential applications in enhancing audio privacy in shared spaces and improving in-car audio systems.

➀ Researchers developed lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver mRNA encoding the KRAS G12D neoantigen and cGAMP to reprogram the liver's immune environment and generate an antitumor response against metastatic pancreatic cancer.

➁ The LNPs successfully activated the type I interferon pathway, leading to the generation of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells capable of recognizing and attacking metastatic cancer cells.

➂ The study suggests that combining KRAS mRNA with a STING agonist strengthens the immune response against PDAC and offers a more effective approach than traditional immunotherapies.
