📌 US reveals new details on alleged Chinese nuclear test
A U.S. official said evidence suggests China conducted an underground nuclear test at Lop Nor in June 2020, citing seismic data recorded in Kazakhstan. The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization detected two small events but could not conclusively verify the claim. China dismissed the allegation as political, as concerns grow over a potential renewed arms race with the expiry of New START.
📌 Cancer treatment effectiveness may depend on timing
A randomized study of 210 non-small-cell lung cancer patients found that receiving immunotherapy before 3 p.m. was linked to significantly better outcomes. Progression-free survival averaged 11.3 months versus 5.7 months for later dosing, with overall survival nearly a year longer in the early-treatment group. Researchers suggest circadian rhythms may enhance immune response in the morning, though experts call for further confirmatory trials.
