The phospholipid called diPUFA can used as a new type of cytostate.

"Illustration of a diPUFA phospholipid, a type of lipid with two polyunsaturated fatty acyl tails, breaking through a cell’s outer lipid layer as the cell dies. New research has shown that diPUFA phospholipids are a key driver of a form of cell death known as ferroptosis.

The new observations about lipids help to understand cell death. The lipid molecule. Or accurately saying phospholipid molecule called diPUFA can cause cell death called ferroptosis. The molecule will break itself through the cell's lipid layer. And then that thing causes cell death.

The phospholipid is the molecule that can tunnel itself through the cell's shell, and that thing causes cell death. The diPUFA is a phospholipid, a type of lipid with two polyunsaturated fatty acyl tails. That molecule cuts the molecular bonds between cell lipids. And that thing causes cell death.

Phospholipid arrangement in cell membranes. (Wikipedia, Phospholipid)

As you see in image 2 the phospholipid has a hydrogen-phosphorus or hydrophilic head that makes this molecule tunnel itself through the cell membrane. Then that thing turns upside down, and then the tails turn to the mitochondria that will destroyed.

"Phosphatidylcholine is the major component of lecithin. It is also a source for choline in the synthesis of acetylcholine in cholinergic neurons". (Wikipedia, Phospholipid)

An interesting thing about this chemical compound is that this lipide acts a little bit like nerve agents or nerve gases. In organophosphates the phosphorous causes tunneling through the skin. And that thing makes nerve gasses so deadly. The research of the lipid molecules. And especially phospholipids can also help to create protective systems and chemicals against nerve agents.

But as you see. The phospholipids can be as deadly as ricin. The phospholipid can cause gangrenes in the human body. And those things cause death. The thing is that in the wrong hands, those phospholipids can be used as horrifying weapons.

This diPUFA can used as the medicine that should destroy the cancer or bacteremia cells. The idea is that some carrier enzyme can transport diPUFA into the non-wanted cells. The diPUFA can be the next-generation cytostate. But that thing is also harmful. And all things there this type of molecule can use are not good.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology. The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use. When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe. Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave. We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects. If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center. The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
