A team of astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope made a remarkable discovery of a massive black hole in the early universe. Located about 800 million years after the Big Bang, this black hole has a mass 400 million times that of the Sun. It is currently dormant, having consumed a significant amount of material and is in a “napping” state. The black hole resides in the host galaxy JADES GN+189.09144+62.22811 1001830, also referred to as GN-1001830.

A cost-effective catalyst to revolutionize hydrogen production
A low-cost palladium-based nanosheet
Researchers from the Tokyo University of Science developed a new catalyst called bis(diimino)palladium coordination nanosheets (PdDI). These low-cost palladium-based nanosheets perform as well as platinum in producing hydrogen. Created using a simple synthesis process with minimal precious metals, the nanosheets reduce metal usage and lower hydrogen production costs.
Our breathing affects our vision
Breathing shapes what we see.
A study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden found that breathing influences pupil size. The pupil is smallest during inhalation and largest during exhalation. This effect is always present and doesn't require external stimuli. Breathing's impact on brain activity and cognitive functions suggests this could help regulate vision and attention.
Loneliness after losing a spouse, study
Persistent Loneliness After Spousal Loss, Despite Social Support
Researchers at Monash University found that losing a spouse causes one to feel more lonely and isolated despite support. Based on data taken from nearly 750 people who had lost their spouses, they found that loneliness and grief affected both genders similarly, with no significant differences based on wealth or health status.
A long-standing Jupiter’s cloud mystery solved
A misunderstanding about the composition of Jupiter’s clouds resolved.
A collaboration between amateur and professional astronomers has led to a major discovery about Jupiter's clouds, challenging a long-standing belief. Thanks to amateur astronomer Dr. Steven Hill, it’s now found that the clouds are not made of ammonia ice, but rather a mix of ammonium hydrosulphide and smog.
