The test has been patented with the name “Microfluidic Array for the quantification of Cell Invasion”, or MAqCI. The technique makes use of a device to analyze the primary features of metastasis (cancer that has spread to other sites). Reports further state that the MAqCI device was accurate in its predictions regarding breast cancer cell lines and of tumours that were grown in animals. 
Since a doctor cannot really predict with confidence whether the cancer mass will be aggressive in the future or not, tests like MAqCI become highly necessary to track the movement of the metastasis cancer. The major challenge, however, remains in the case that failure in the prediction of the cancer mass. This is because anonymity of the metastasis can lead to overtreatment in some cases, leading to inadequate treatment methods. The new test will also help clinicians to choose the most compliant and necessary drugs to prevent the spread of malignant cells. 
Where the rear camera arrangement in the latest Galaxy S10 series smartphones is horizontal aligned on the upper half, the upcoming Note 10 is expected to have a vertical rear camera module placed at the top left section of the back panel.

Apple’s WWDC 2019 invitation is creative as usual, and it packs some really intuitive clues for those who have an eye for it. Hints are scattered around and some of them clearly depict what the American technology company is up to for at this year’s WWDC. Let’s have a look at some of the clues and what they mean.
The centre of the invitation depicts a unicorn, which hints towards one of the earliest Animated emojis that the company showcased alongside the launch of iPhone X and X Plus. Similarly, the robot, which is the cover image of the invite was also a part of Apple’s “Animojis”. This may be an obvious hint towards a new series of animated emojis that may be announced at the WWDC. 
macOS users will easily recognize the rocket on the far left, which stands for the Launchpad application on the operating system. A revamp for the feature may be announced at the event. The top right, however, houses the “fingers crossed” emoji. Not very likely, but there are chances that an update related to iOS emojis may be unveiled as well at the WWDC. Right below the crossed fingers, the icon for Apple’s ARKit can be spotted. ARKit is Apple’s development kit for those who design applications based on AR (Augmented Reality). The inclusion of the ARKit icon means that a step-up to a newer version of the application is in the works. 
The Oppo Reno ’10x zoom’ variant is kitted with the Snapdragon 855 SoC while the ‘standard’ variant is kitted with Snapdragon 710 SoC. Chipsets on both the smartphone variants have octa-core CPUs which can perform intensive tasks smoothly. The more affordable variant is powered by a 3765 mAh battery while the premium variant is powered by a 4065 mAh battery. Notably, both the variants support Oppo’s proprietary VOOC 3.0 charging technology. VOOC 3.0 allows the device to be charged with a maximum power of 20W which is equivalent to OnePlus’s Dash charge technology. 
Both variants of the Oppo Reno run on ColosOS 6.0 based on top of Android 9 Pie. Connectivity options on both smartphones include Bluetooth v5.0, 802.11 ac Wi-Fi, 4G VoLTE, NFC and a bottom mounted USB Type-C port. Both the ‘standard’ and ’10x zoom’ variants of the Oppo Reno also have an in-display fingerprint sensor, which is becoming the norm for mid range to premium-range smartphones these days.

As per sources, Apple’s upcoming smartphones will resemble the design factor of their predecessors, with the major difference being the additional rear camera lens. Furthermore, 3D touch functionality will be removed from the 2019 iPhones, which indicates that the company may introduce a Haptic Touch feature in its handsets.
Reportedly, all the iPhones will be transitioned to OLED displays in the year 2020, with LG becoming the secondary supplier of the same, reports state.

Researchers from the University of Washington have derived inspiration from Origami techniques and have developed a solution that can serve to keep spacecrafts safe from collisions. They are designing materials that can withstand huge amounts of forces and pressure in space. The paper model of the “demo” material implements the incorporation of “folding creases” that forms a basis of Origami models, which in turn cushions the impact forces consequently reducing the chance of material rupture.

It has been reported that the company consists of multiple departments, some of them with access to user data via dedicated tools. Former employees of Snapchat have divulged that multiple Snap employees misused their access privileges to pry on private Snapchat user data several years ago. The user data included location information, saved snaps, phone numbers and email addresses. All this information has been derived from a cache of internal company emails obtained by sources. 
Reports also state that one of the aforementioned tools that the company employees were allegedly using was SnapLion. The original intended use of the tool was to make a database of information concerning users – all of this in response to valid law enforcement requests. Reportedly, this tool was only intended for use by select officials of Snapchat, but this was clearly not the result.
