Discovery of plasma loading mechanism of radio jets launched from black holes

Galaxies, including our Milky Way, contain supermassive black holes with masses millions to billions of times greater than the sun. Some supermassive black holes produce radio jets, which are fast-moving plasma outflows that emit strong radio signals. Radio jets were discovered for the first time...

How Pacific decadal oscillation modulates the El Niño-related eastward transport anomaly

The equatorial intermediate currents (EICs) contribute to global circulation, climate variability, distributions of heat, water mass and biogeochemical quantities. The EICs in the western Pacific show a significant interannual response to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) at a 10- to 12- month lag with an eastward...

Researchers reveals basics of industrial catalytic processes

Catalysts speed up chemical reactions with the aim of minimizing energy usage. They are critically important. Catalysts have also been developed through trial and error rather than through scientific principles. Washington State University and University of Science and Technology of China scientists together have revealed an underlying mechanism...
