100+ Years Old Debate About Quantum Reality Settled With Experiment. Really?

In quantum physics, a wave function is a mathematical way to describe everything in the universe. But since quantum physics emerged, physicists have argued about whether or not the wave function is real. A group of physicists recently conducted a test of a theorem that describes the mechanics of the wave function, and they’ve told the press that they’ve settled the question: Yes, the wave-function is real. Let’s take a look.

Radiowave bursts linked to onset of intense auroral storms

A University of Southampton study has revealed an intriguing new clue in the mystery of what triggers periods of very intense, brightly colored activity during displays of both the southern and northern lights.

Known as a “magnetospheric substorm,” this awe-inspiring phenomenon, which blankets the night sky in green and purple, is almost always preceded by what space scientists call “auroral beads”—a necklace-like wave of multiple luminous points of light which eventually evolve into the storm.

Southampton scientists have now shown there is a link between these auroral beads and the intensity of low frequency radio waves above the aurora in Earth’s magnetosphere—a vast area around our planet that is dominated by its magnetic field. Their findings are published in Nature Communications.

Donate to My War with cancer in 2025 and other major setbacks, organized by Nicholas Avery

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Nick, and I am writing to you in the spirit of openness and honesty. In 2025 I underwent emergency medical treatment for a skull tumor, and after initial interventions failed I received CAR T-cell therapy at City of Hope Cancer Centers in California. This journey along with the rest of the year has been one of the most challenging years of my life.

Because of cancer treatments and multiple hardships throughout the year, medical bills, recovery needs, a car accident, and not allowed to return to work yet, I established a GoFundMe campaign to help cover necessary expenses and give myself a chance at recovery and Here’s the link to the campaign:

https://gofund.me/546bee7a8

I understand Lifeboat core values and mission is towards making the world a better place and after years of growing with this community, which is why I believe that human life, is a part of what makes our future worth safeguarding.

I’m reaching out because we all have our own personal humanitarian crisis and unfortunate this year is mine. I appreciate any support, be it words of encouragement or donating to my campaign is all deeply appreciated. Thank you for letting me a part of this community. The link is posted in a comment.

A special THANK YOU to Eric Klien for being supportive and donating.


CAR T Cell Therapy for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Successes and Shortcomings

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell therapy achieved remarkable success in B-cell leukemia and lymphoma which led to its incorporation in treatment protocols for these diseases. CAR T cell therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients showed less success compared to other malignant tumors. In this review, we discuss the published results regarding CAR T cell therapy of CLL, possible mechanisms of failures and expected developments.

Biological Activities of Mikania glomerata and Mikania laevigata: A Scoping Review and Evidence Gap Mapping

Background/Objectives: The species Mikania glomerata and Mikania laevigata are commonly referred to as guaco. Their preparations are used in traditional Brazilian medicine, mainly to address respiratory conditions affecting the upper airways. Considering the wide popular use of this species, the present study aims to survey the biological activities of guaco that have already been proven in the literature and to generate an evidence gap map for these biological activities. Methods: A scoping review was conducted using the electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (7 October 2024), which included all studies that have evaluated the biological activities of the leaves of the M. glomerata or M. laevigata species. Results: A total of 57 studies (31 assessed only M. glomerata, 17 assessed only M.

Early detection of lung cancer

Most patients with lung cancer are diagnosed when they present with symptoms, they have advanced stage disease, and curative treatment is no longer an option. An effective screening test has long been desired for early detection with the goal of reducing mortality from lung cancer. Sputum cytology, chest radiography, and computed tomography (CT) scan have been studied as potential screening tests. The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) demonstrated a 20% reduction in mortality with low-dose CT (LDCT) screening, and guidelines now endorse annual LDCT for those at high risk. Implementation of screening is underway with the desire that the benefits be seen in clinical practice outside of a research study format. Concerns include management of false positives, cost, incidental findings, radiation exposure, and overdiagnosis.
