Star Formation Impacted by Supermassive Blackhole

Using data from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO), a European team of astronomers measures the gas pressure and studies how the powerful jets of a supermassive black hole alter the conditions for star formation in interstellar clouds.

Scientists Shine Light on the Inner Specifics and Breakup of Deuterons

Scientists have found a way to "see" inside deuterons, the simplest atomic nuclei, to better understand the "glue" that holds the building blocks of matter together. The new results come from collisions of photons (particles of light) with deuterons, which are made of just one proton bound to one neutron.
