Warped Light Emerging From Behind a Black Hole Has Been Detected For The First Time
So extreme is the magnetic and gravitational environment around a black hole that we should see light bend around it and be reflected back at the viewer from behind the black hole – at least, per the theoretical predictions of Einstein's general

Mysterious Fossils Could Be Some of The Oldest Signs of Animal Life Ever Found
Within the remains of 890-million-year-old microbial reefs – a world that was dominated by bacteria and algae – lie possible signs of multicellular animal life, 90 million years before there was thought to be enough oxygen in Earth's atmosphere

A Key Hallmark of Motor Neurone Disease Has Been Reversed in The Lab
In a new study, scientists were able to reverse one of the biological abnormalities that ALS introduces in cells. It's important to note this has only been achieved for one form of the disease so far, and only in lab samples, rather than in actual human beings.

Physicists Detect Strongest Evidence Yet of Matter Generated by Collisions of Light
According to theory, if you smash two photons together hard enough, you can generate matter: an electron-positron pair, the conversion of light to mass as per Einstein's theory of special relativity.
