…Milky Way. The newly discovered classical Cepheid in the Galaxy, named OGLE-GD-CEP-1884, can be categorised as the first ultra-long-period Cepheid in the Milky Way. The period of 78.14 days is nearly ten days longer than that of the previous record-holding Cepheid, S Vulpeculae. This star is present in the ASAS-SN and Gaia DR3 catalogs of variable stars, yet it has been classified as a long-period variable. Based on more than ten years of the phot…

…tefan Pokorski, now professor of the UW Faculty of Physics, during his internship at the CERN had a chance to work with Prof. Englert. Over twenty doctoral theses of the Faculty of Physics are focused on the use the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism (BEH mechanism) in the Standard Model.

…ough the accounts of ancient and mediaeval authors and up-to-date reports from local informants, who were not always reliable. The images they provided were reproduced in large numbers, which often did not contribute to the evolution of science but, on the contrary, strengthened errors and misunderstandings,” Prof. Jurkowlaniec said.   As an example, the researcher cites an excerpt from Julius Caesar’s Commentaries on the Gallic War.

…caused primarily by microglia and macrophages, which acquire pro-tumour properties in the glioma microenvironment and become its allies. We have discovered that the receptor SorLA has an important role in this process. A high or low level of expression of SorLA gene-coding is linked to specific properties of cells: pro-tumour or pro-inflammatory,” Prof. Anna Malik underlined. The results of the research were presented in EMBO Reports: “SorLA restr…
