The measurement sensitivity and statistical accuracy of the first four nuclear astrophysics key reaction experiments released were higher than the level of similar international devices, reaching the maximum exposure, widest energy range and highest sensitivity of international nuclear astrophysics direct measurement. So far, my country has become the third country in the world capable of conducting deep earth nuclear astrophysics research.

Image credit: European Space Agency/Planck Collaboration ● Professor Cai Yifu of the University of Science and Technology of China led an international cooperation team to discover that when the infant universe was in the "desert" energy zone of high-energy physics, there was a primordial gravitational wave resonance nonlinear theory phenomenon. Through this phenomenon, the primordial gravitational wave signal can be amplified by 4 to 6 orders of magnitude or even larger, so that it can be detected by the detector and can be used to verify some theoretical models of the origin of the universe that are "untouchable" by traditional physics. The results were recently published in Physical Review Letters. (Source: Science and Technology Daily) ●Recently, Nature Communications published the latest results of a joint research team online. The study found for the first time that the loss of leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) in liver cancer activates NF-κB signaling, which in turn upregulates the iron-chelating cytokine LCN2, promotes the occurrence and development of tumors, and leads to tumor resistance to ferroptosis-inducing drugs. This study provides a new strategy for safely and effectively targeting ferroptosis to treat tumors.

Regarding the questions "How often do you have a drink?" and "Are you often drunk?", the survey results show that Australians have the highest frequency of drunkenness in the world, with an average of 27 times per person per year, an average of at least twice a month. Denmark and Finland ranked second (23.8 times), the United States (23.1 times) and the United Kingdom (22.5 times) ranked fourth and fifth respectively.

On December 19, Procter & Gamble China issued a statement saying that the recall only involved some dry hair spray products in North America, not shampoo and hair care products, nor the Chinese market. The relevant products were all produced in the United States and were not imported into China. All products sold in the Chinese market comply with relevant national laws and regulations.
