Using ESA’s Integral and XMM-Newton observatories, an international team of astronomers has found more evidence that massive black holes are surrounded by a doughnut-shaped gas cloud, called a torus.

Right now, you are looking into a space where plasmas are crushed into a torus shape, subjected to a magnetic field, and then heated and pressurized until their nuclei fuse. It’s called the National ...

XRISM, a collaborative mission between JAXA, NASA, and ESA, utilizes cutting-edge spectroscopic instruments, including the Resolve microcalorimeter, offering unprecedented spectral resolution in X-ray ...

We’ve known for some time now our universe is expanding, and in recent years discovered this was happening considerably faster than we’d expected. Yet despite momentous innovations in telescope and ...
