"Scientists have described a 'superflare' from a distant black hole - the most luminous burst of light ever detected from such an object. At its peak, the blaze shone more than 10 trillion times brighter than the Sun and was probably triggered by the black hole's gravity shredding a star that was at least 30 times as massive as the Sun. The flash also seems to be the farthest ever detected at roughly 10 billion light years away from our Solar System."
"At a pandemic-research conference this week, immune researcher Runhong Zhou presented results from early studies of a dual-target antibody treatment for H5N1 avian influenza in which the treatment neutralized multiple live strains of the virus. Zhou's research is among a host of antibody therapies in the works, such as those to treat HIV through antibody-driven reactivation of dormant immune cells. Antibodies could also boost the efficacy of other treatments such as vaccines, researchers say, by binding to areas of a virus that don't mutate."
Failures to scale and retain the economic benefits of research in the United Kingdom are damaging the science sector and eroding national scientific capacity. A distant black hole produced a record-setting 'superflare' that shone over ten trillion times brighter than the Sun, likely caused by the black hole shredding a star at least 30 times the Sun's mass and lying about 10 billion light years away. Early studies of a dual-target antibody for H5N1 neutralized multiple live strains, and antibody approaches are being developed for HIV and to enhance vaccine efficacy by binding conserved viral regions. Entrepreneur Jared Isaacman has been re-nominated for NASA administrator and would face ambitious lunar timelines and low agency morale if confirmed.
