Melanoma vaccine shows high efficacy; China advances chip tech without EUV

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Merck and Moderna have released promising results for a personalized melanoma vaccine, showing that 82% of patients remained cancer-free two years after treatment. This news, however, led to a puzzling drop in their stock prices. Meanwhile, China is advancing its chip manufacturing capabilities using older deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography techniques, approaching 5nm-class nodes without extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology, though this comes with increased costs and reduced yields.
