Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered that the blowtorch-like jet blasting from a supermassive black hole at the core of galaxy M87 seems to cause stars to erupt along its trajectory. The stars, called novae, are not caught inside the jet, but are apparently in a dangerous neighborhood nearby. Hubble found twice as many novae going off near the jet as elsewhere in the giant galaxy during the surveyed time period.

In a major step toward sustainable chemistry, scientists have uncovered a new way to significantly boost the electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia through the in-situ evolution of electrocatalysts. This breakthrough provides a cleaner alternative to the traditional ammonia synthesis process and a solution to the critical issue of nitrate pollution in water systems.

Pesquisadores da Mayo Clinic investigaram as bases moleculares do câncer e descobriram uma nova razão pela qual o receptor de antígeno quimérico (terapia com células CAR-T) não funciona em alguns pacientes. Essa descoberta estimulou novas estratégias que incorporam anticorpos e edição genética para melhorar os resultados desse tratamento inovador para os pacientes. Esta pesquisa do Dr. Saad Kenderian, consultor em hematologia da Mayo Clinic, foi publicada na Nature Communications.
