X-ray flashes from a nearby supermassive black hole accelerate mysteriously
Their source could be the core of a dead star that's teetering at the black hole's edge, MIT astronomers report. One supermassive black hole has kept astronomers glued to their scopes for the last several years. First came a surprise disappearance, and now, a precarious spinning act. The black hole in question is 1ES 1927+654, which is about as massive as a million suns and sits in a galaxy that is 270 million light-years away.

Solar Superflares once per Century
Solar Superflares once per Century
The Sun should be capable of eruptions that are a hundred times stronger than the strongest flare ever recorded. This is shown by an analysis of over 50,000 sun-like stars. Stars similar to the Sun produce a gigantic outburst of radiation on average about once every hundred years per star. Such superflares release more energy than a trillion hydrogen bombs and make all previously recorded solar flares pale in comparison.

Minuscule Robots for Targeted Drug Delivery
In the future, delivering therapeutic drugs exactly where they are needed within the body could be the task of miniature robots. Not little metal humanoid or even bio-mimicking robots; think instead of tiny bubble-like spheres. Such robots would have a long and challenging list of requirements. For example, they would need to survive in bodily fluids, such as stomach acids, and be controllable, so they could be directed precisely to targeted sites.
