A league of scientists are calling for a critical discussion on the dangers of life forms made up of 'mirror-image molecules', because of the significant risks these creations may pose to global health.
For the first time, researchers observed a type of quasiparticle that behaves in an unusual way. It only has mass moving in one direction.
Astronomers made a photo of a colossal belch – a gamma-ray eruption from one of the powerful jets of plasma launched from the black hole's poles as it feeds.
