Physicists create resilient 3D solitons in the lab
For the first time, physicists in Italy have created a ‘lump soliton’: an extremely stable packet of light waves which can travel through 3D space, and even interact with other solitons without losing its shape.
Led by Ludovica Dieli at Sapienza University of Rome, the team achieved their result using a specially engineered crystal, whose responses to incoming light beams could be tightly controlled using an external voltage. Their study appears in Physical Review Letters.

It is a direct consequence of Einstein’s theory of general relativity and implies that the past, present, and future all exist in the same sense. I have talked about this previously, but in the past years I have changed my mind about the role of quantum mechanics in this argument. 📚 Buy my book ➜ https://amzn.to/3HSAWJW 👕T-shirts, mugs, posters and more: ➜ https://sabines-store.dashery.com/ 💌 Support me on Donorbox ➜ https://donorbox.org/swtg 👉 Transcript with links to references on Patreon ➜ / sabine 📝 Transcripts and written news on Substack ➜ https://sciencewtg.substack.com/ 📩 Free weekly science newsletter ➜ https://sabinehossenfelder.com/newsle… 👂 Audio only podcast ➜ https://open.spotify.com/show/0MkNfXl… 🔗 Join this channel to get access to perks ➜

Multiple Sclerosis May Have Two Distinct Subtypes, Scientists Discover
This will help clinicians understand where a person sits on the disease pathway and who may need closer monitoring or earlier, targeted treatment.
There may be two distinct subtypes of multiple sclerosis, according to a new study led by scientists at University College London (UCL). The finding, if validated, could help doctors provide more specialized care for patients.
The study used machine learning to analyze data drawn from blood tests and brain scans of 634 patients participating in two different clinical trials. Machine learning models are trained to pick up subtle patterns that humans might miss.
The blood tests were for detecting a protein called serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL), a known biomarker of diseases of the nervous system, including multiple sclerosis (MS).
Ruim 900.000 euro voor nieuwe behandeling tegen slagaderverkalking
How do we slow down atherosclerosis? Researcher Amanda Foks believes this is possible by eliminating aging immune cells. This would represent a completely new treatment for heart attacks and strokes. For this research, she has received the Established Investigator Dekker Grant from the Dutch Heart Foundation.
Hoe remmen we slagaderverkalking af? Onderzoeker Amanda Foks denkt dat dit mogelijk is door verouderde afweercellen uit te schakelen. Dat zou een geheel nieuwe behandeling tegen hart-en herseninfarcten zijn. Voor dit onderzoek ontvangt ze de Established Investigator Dekkerbeurs van de Hartstichting.
Slagaderverkalking ontstaat doordat vetten en cellen zich jarenlang ophopen in de vaatwand. Vaak merk je daar niets van, totdat zo’n verdikking plotseling scheurt. Dan kan er acuut een hart-of herseninfarct ontstaan.
Met de leeftijd neemt het risico toe: bloedvaten worden minder soepel en het afweersysteem werkt minder goed, waardoor ontstekingen ontstaan. Die ontstekingen versnellen juist weer de slagaderverkalking.
