An effort to find some of the biggest, most active black holes in the universe provides a better estimate for the ratio of hidden to unhidden behemoths. Multiple NASA telescopes recently helped scientists search the sky for supermassive black holes - those up to billions of times heavier than the Sun.

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.

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.

Key takeaways The galaxy M87, located in the Virgo constellation, provided the first-ever photo of a black hole in 2019, when the Event Horizon Telescope captured an image of the supermassive black hole at the galaxy's center. An international research team including UCLA has observed a teraelectronvolt gamma-ray flare seven orders of magnitude - tens of millions of times - larger than the event horizon, or surface of the black hole itself.

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.

Not so simple machines: Cracking the code for materials that can learn
Study: Training all-mechanical neural networks for task learning through in situ backpropagation (DOI:10.1038/s41467-024-54849-z) It's easy to think that machine learning is a completely digital phenomenon, made possible by computers and algorithms that can mimic brain-like behaviors. But the first machines were analog and now, a small but growing body of research is showing that mechanical systems are capable of learning, too.
