Young stars ejecting plasma could give us clues into the Sun’s past Kyoto, Japan — Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). They often occur together with sudden brightenings called flares, and sometimes extend far enough to disturb Earth’s magnetosphere, generating space weather phenomena including auroras or geomagnetic storms, and even damaging power grids on occasion. Scientists believe that when…
Most quinones, with coenzyme Q10 as their best known representative, are seen as very efficient radical scavengers and antioxidants, commonly acting in a way…
Scientists of Saarland University have recently succeeded in developing the first CYP11B1 inhibitors showing good selectivity. As starting point the highly…

Quasars are among the brightest objects in the universe, far outshining the total starlight of their host galaxies. Quasars are powered by supermassive black…
The key prospect of a quantum simulator is to access new physics that the best known classical algorithms can no longer keep track of. For the first time, a…
Since the discovery of antibiotic substances and their use against microbes, bacteria have evolved to defend themselves by acquiring resistances. Especially in…
As a (partial) solution, a matter cycle on gigantic scales has been proposed. In our local galactic neighbourhood, traces of this mechanism had already been…

Over the lifetime of the cosmos galaxies have put on a great deal of weight but their food, and eating habits, are still mysterious. A new survey of carefully…
The new observations promise to help scientists understand the early stages of a sequence of events through which a giant cloud of gas and dust collapses into…
