Astronomers have confirmed the existence of an outflow from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy — a phenomenon long predicted but never directly observed.
Sagittarius A* emits a cosmic wind, now directly detected for the first time.
The phenomenon had been theoretically predicted for over 50 years without observational confirmation.
Cosmic winds shape star formation and the long-term evolution of entire galaxies.
Artificial intelligence has deciphered a manuscript carbonized by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD — a breakthrough in the history of classical studies.
First complete reading of a Vesuvius-carbonized papyrus, nearly 2,000 years after its burial.
AI detected ink traces on carbonized fibers without any physical contact with the scroll.
Hundreds of other Herculaneum scrolls could be deciphered using the same technique.
Scientists have developed a method to convert organic food scraps into sustainable aviation fuel, offering a potential path to cut emissions from one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise.
Organic kitchen waste can be converted into fuel compatible with current jet engines.
Aviation emissions are hard to cut and full electrification remains decades away.
High processing costs and missing infrastructure are the main barriers to industrial-scale production.
Researchers tracked tens of thousands of participants over three decades and found a clear connection between resistance exercise and reduced mortality risk.
The study tracked participants for 30 years, linking strength training to greater longevity.
Benefits were recorded regardless of participants' age or baseline fitness level.
Experts recommend at least two strength training sessions per week for meaningful health gains.
Researchers tested a copper-based drug that restores the brain's waste-clearance mechanisms, reducing toxic protein build-up linked to Alzheimer's disease.
The copper compound reduced toxic protein deposits in mouse brains.
The mechanism targets the brain's natural waste-clearance system.
The study is preclinical — no human trials have begun yet.
