Scientists have discovered a large black hole that "hiccups", and emits gas fluxes. Analysis revealed that a small black hole repeatedly punctures the gas disk of the large black hole, causing the perturbations to be released. Strong magnetic fields, north and south of the black hole, shown by the orange cone, shoot the flux up and out of the disk. Each time the small black hole punctures the disk, it emits another star, in a regular periodic pattern. Credit: Jose-Luis Olivares, MIT

Black hole "hiccuping" - astronomers are surprised by periodic eruptions in a distant galaxy

In a distant galaxy, the supermassive black hole's intermittent gas fluxes led to the discovery of a smaller black hole in its orbit

A new spacecraft called XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission, pronounced "charism") is designed to separate high-energy light into the equivalent of an X-ray rainbow

New findings on Rosalind Franklin's role in discovering the structure of DNA

An article published in Nature details Franklin's part in discovering the "backbone" of the DNA molecule. However, due to the competition between the groups, she avoided publishing a large part of them herself, as well as Watson and Crick
