How rotating black holes unleash cosmic particle jets
Tuesday, 07 October 2025 07:55
At the center of the massive galaxy M87 lies the supermassive black hole M87*, weighing six and a half billion times the mass of the Sun and spinning rapidly on its axis. From this powerhouse, an enormous jet of charged particles blasts outward at nearly the speed of light, extending over 5,000 light-years and reshaping its galactic environment.
To understand how such jets are powered, ast Digital revolution brings new clarity to direct exoplanet imaging with PLACID's liquid crystal optics
Tuesday, 07 October 2025 07:55
A groundbreaking instrument is set to transform how astronomers detect and directly image planets orbiting distant stars by using liquid crystal technology. Known as the Programmable Liquid-crystal Active Coronagraphic Imager for the DAG telescope (PLACID), the device was installed earlier this year on the new 4-meter Eastern Anatolian Observatory (DAG) telescope in eastern Turkey.

On November 4, 2025 at 6:03 p.m. local time in French Guiana (9:03 p.m. UTC, 10:03 p.m. CET), Arianespace plans to launch the Copernicus Sentinel-1D satellite aboard Ariane 6 from Europe's Spaceport. Mission VA265 marks the launcher's third commercial flight and will target Sun-synchronous orbit near 693 km.

Neuraspace, one of Europe's leading space domain awareness (SDA) providers, has expanded its role in defence and civil protection with the launch of "Neuraspace DEF," a system designed to deliver autonomous, rapid responses to threats against space-based infrastructure.
The new platform advances beyond traditional passive monitoring by enabling active and self-directed control of space ope New AI enhances the view inside fusion energy systems

Imagine watching a favorite movie when suddenly the sound stops. The data representing the audio is missing. All that's left are images. What if artificial intelligence (AI) could analyze each frame of the video and provide the audio automatically based on the pictures, reading lips and noting each time a foot hits the ground?
That's the general concept behind a new AI that fills in missin Physicists tighten the net on elusive dark matter
Tuesday, 07 October 2025 07:55
Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world's most sensitive dark matter detector, LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), have narrowed down the possibilities for one of the leading dark matter candidates: weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs).

Large Space Simulator gets a digital twin
Monday, 06 October 2025 13:13
The Large Space Simulator, Europe’s largest vacuum chamber, routinely reproduces space conditions on Earth to test spacecraft before they fly into orbit. The facility is complex, and the current process of training a new operator is lengthy and complicated. To make it easier, the space simulator now has a digital twin – the most realistic virtual model of the facility yet, developed for the European Space Agency (ESA) by the Spanish engineering company Empresarios Agrupados.

Navigating through interference at Jammertest
Monday, 06 October 2025 10:11
Satellite navigation is essential to everything from tracking your morning jog to landing air ambulances. But as reliance on satellite navigation grows, so do the risks associated with its interruption, natural or intentional. In its pursuit of strengthening European resilience in navigation, the European Space Agency (ESA) took part in Jammertest.
