London - The British team that already holds the world land speed record said Thursday it plans to build a 1,000-miles-an-hour (1,600 kilometres) car in the next three years.

The Bloodhound SSC (supersonic car) will be 13 metres long, six metres wide and be powered by a jet engine normally used on the Eurofighter, plus a rocket, said project leader Richard Noble.

A study carried out by researchers from the Broad Institute of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University have discovered 26-new genes that are linked to the development of lung cancer.

Looking at 188-patient donated samples of lung adenocarcinoma, a very common and deadly form of lung cancer, 623-different genes were studied as possible suspects, and then compared to genes in healthy tissue in patients.  The researchers found that a total of 26-genes were linked to this type of lung cancer that affects 40% of the 1-million lung cancer deaths each year.
