Decoding the past: DNA identification breakthrough
Society 02:56The journey to reclaim a name begins at sites like Giong Rieng Martyrs Cemetery in An Giang. The remains were then transferred to the Centre for DNA Identification, where scientists have applied a groundbreaking method transferred by the ICMP. Through this advanced workflow, every successfully sequenced profile brings science one step closer to bridging the gap between the past and a final reunion.

The rise of AI "vibe coding" trend
Society 03:04Artificial intelligence is changing the way software is built, and with it, the skills employers are looking for.
