I read two brief articles in Scientific American yesterday that I thought were quite exciting.
The first concerns quantum entanglement, which is basically the idea that quantum particles occur in linked pairs; if you attempt to measure or detect one particle in the pair you will cause a potentially instantaneous change in the partner particle. The notion that you can effect a nearly instantaneous change (at least 10,000 times faster than the speed of light) through interaction with one particle across indeterminate distances is amazing. Read the like for a better description of the phenomenon:

The second article is on a new antibody treatment for non-Hodgkins lymphoma. The drug binds to T-cells and and to cancer cells simultaneously and directs the killing action of the T-cell toward the attached cancer cell. Read more detail at the link below:
