TL;DR: The New Horizons encounter revealed that Pluto displays a surprisingly wide variety of geological landforms, including those resulting from glaciological and surface-atmosphere interactions as well as impact, tectonic, possible cryovolcanic, and mass-wasting processes.

TL;DR: A large feasibility study shows that a cancer blood test and PET-CT imaging can detect some cancers at an early stage, and could be combined with conventional screening, leading to detection of more than half of the total incident cancers observed during the study period.
