Centaurus A in the spotlight: Plasma simulations reproduce black hole jets
Around 12 million light-years away, the supermassive black hole of the galaxy Centaurus A is hurling two enormous plasma jets into space at nearly the speed of light. These so-called jets are brighter at their edges than at their center. The reason for this was previously unclear but has now been explained by a team from the Chair of Astronomy at the University of W

Bennu asteroid analysis suggests unexpected origins for organics in space
Samples from the Bennu asteroid, which is currently more than 200 million miles (322 million kilometers) from Earth, and the Murchison meteorite, which fell to Earth in 1969, both contain molecules that build proteins necessary for life. New research has found that the molecules may have formed through the same process but originated far from one another in the solar system.

A standard shortcut, used since the 1970s, hides a magneto-optic effect in ordinary glass fiber
For more than 50 years, engineers have described light in optical fiber using a convenient shortcut, one that works so well it is rarely questioned. Engineers at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits University) in Johannesburg, South Africa, have now shown that this shortcut hides a small but real effect. A magnet placed beside a multimode fiber, rather than along it, can change the light traveling inside.

Jensen Huang under pressure: What the US probe means for Nvidia and the AI industry
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing growing scrutiny in the US, with Republican Senator Kevin Cramer calling for him to step down following reports of a possible foreign intelligence connection involving a Chinese businesswoman. The developments have raised questions about corporate security and the protection of sensitive technology at the world's leading AI chipmaker. The latest development came on November 10, when Nvidia's independent directors announced that they had appointed Joon H. Kim, former acting US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and his law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to conduct an independent investigation. The appointment follows the board's November 8 decision to investigate reports that the chip-maker mogul had been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort. The board said it had no reason to believe that US national security or Nvidia's confidential information had been compromised, but would examine all available information. On November 10, Senator Kevin Cramer told Politico that Huang should leave his position, citing potential security risks and the possibility of extortion. His comments came after US President Donald Trump said the FBI was looking into the matter. Trump also said Huang had told him he was unaware that the woman in question was allegedly linked to Chinese intelligence. What has happened so far? The controversy follows a New York Times report that Huang had a close relationship with Alice Huang, an unrelated former executive of Singapore-based company Megaspeed International. US authorities reportedly suspected her of having links to Chinese intelligence. Megaspeed had also faced scrutiny over allegations that it helped route advanced Nvidia AI chips into China, despite US export restrictions. These allegations have not been independently established as proof of any transfer of confidential information or technology. Huang addressed the matter in an email to Nvidia employees on November 8, which the company subsequently published on its newsroom website. He acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife and apologised to his family, employees, board members and shareholders. He also said he remained committed to leading Nvidia and would cooperate fully with the investigation. In the message, Huang wrote that he was committed to protecting the company and supporting US national security. Why does this matter for the AI industry? Nvidia's position in the global AI industry makes the investigation significant beyond its leadership. Its GPUs power a large share of the infrastructure used to train and run AI models, making the company central to the technology supply chain. The scrutiny also comes amid continuing US-China tensions over semiconductor exports. Washington has imposed restrictions on advanced AI chip shipments to China, citing national security concerns. Huang has previously argued for allowing Nvidia to sell certain advanced chips in the Chinese market. The investigation could therefore bring renewed attention to how Nvidia manages sensitive business relationships, chip distribution and access to technology. Nvidia has maintained that Huang will continue to lead the company without interruption. The board has also expressed confidence in him and his leadership team. The independent investigation is now expected to examine the allegations and determine whether any company or national security concerns arose.

How the cosmic environment depletes galaxies of their gas
An international team of researchers, led by Jonathan Freundlich (University of Strasbourg, Astronomical Observatory), has revealed how a dense cosmic environment depletes galaxies of their gas. By mapping the molecular gas in a galaxy group located 7 billion light-years away, they found that the galaxies in this group harbor, on average, gas reservoirs reduced by more than half compared to similar isolated galaxies. The results of this study are published in the journal Astronomy

Gravitational waves hint at black holes born from failed supernovae
When the most massive stars in the universe die, they often detonate in fiery supernovae, dramatically blasting most of their matter into space. The remaining stellar cores collapse into neutron stars and, sometimes, black holes. However, theories suggest that some massive stars might die without a bang, instead directly collapsing inward to become neutron stars or black holes.

Repeat thieves without kleptomania struggle to adapt to rewards in decision-making test
Theft is almost universally considered an exploitative behavior. The conventional view underlying judicial systems is that the act of taking resources from others without offering compensation stems from moral and personal failings. As a result, these systems rely on the assumption that the threat or imposition of punishment will motivate criminal offenders to adjust their future behavior. Yet the outcome is not always success.
