Astronomers Capture Supermassive Black Hole Plasma Jets at Birth
For the first time, plasma jets from a supermassive black hole have been observed in real time. Located 270 million light-years away in galaxy 1ES 1927+654, the jets traveled at one-third the speed of light. Emerging in 2024 after a radio flare in 2023, the jets broke through dense gas near the black hole, which has a mass 1.4 billion times that of...

The Future of Armour? New Chainmail-Like Material Shows Promise
A team of researchers from Northwestern University has developed the first 2D mechanically interlocked polymer material, resembling chainmail, that combines strength and flexibility. This material, which can withstand significant force and pressure, holds promise for applications in lightweight body armour. By using a new polymerisation process, th...

Supermassive Black Hole Flashed Twice in a Rare Event, Scientists Explain the Reason
In a galaxy 408 million light-years away, the black hole ASASSN-22ci consumed a star from a binary system, producing a rare double-flash tidal disruption event (TDE). First observed in February 2022, a second flare occurred 720 days later, possibly caused by Hills capture. Researchers anticipate a third flare in early 2026, offering unprecedented i...
