Photonic-integrated EO-DiAL concept.

A Single Chip Could Transform the Future of Photonic Computing

A CfA-led study captured the explosive end of a massive star orbiting a black hole. As their separation narrowed, the black hole’s gravity stripped gas and dust from the star into a disk. Before the black hole could be engulfed, its gravitational stress triggered the star’s supernova. Collisions between the explosion and earlier ejected material caused a dramatic re-brightening. The artist’s graphic shows the star stretched by the black hole’s pull just before the blast.

How Lithium Loss May Ignite and Reverse Alzheimer’s

A major study from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian has found the Universe’s missing matter using Fast Radio Bursts—brief radio flashes from distant galaxies. This illustration shows one such burst traveling through the intergalactic medium, where longer wavelengths (red) slow down more than shorter ones (blue), helping astronomers detect otherwise invisible matter.

AI Discovers Oral Drug That Blocks Multiple Coronaviruses

This artist's conception shows a disk of dust and gas surrounding a young star with a large cavity carved out by a forming giant planet. The warm methanol gas tracing the dust cavity wall is highlighted. These molecules originate from ices rich in organic matter that are heated by radiation from the star, forming gas. The detection of methanol, as well as the methanol isotopes, supports the idea that interstellar ices can survive the formation of planet-forming disks.
