Never seen before - the first ever image of a black hole In a major breakthrough, astronomers have achieved the impossible by capturing an image of a distant black hole. This particular supermassive black hole, which measures a staggering 40 billion km across, is located at the center of the distant Messier 87 galaxy which lies approximately 55 million light years away. The 'ring of fire' surrounding the black hole is caused by dust and gas falling in to its center. The object is so bright that it puts out more light than all the stars in its host galaxy combined. The image itself was captured using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) - a network of eight radio telescopes situated around the world. "Black holes are the most mysterious objects in the universe," said EHT director Sheperd Doeleman. "We have seen what we thought was unseeable. We have taken a picture of a black hole." The groundbreaking image will help to revolutionize our understanding of these enigmatic objects. For astrophysicists, these are exciting times indeed.

The discovery could prove useful in a variety of applications A new 'chain-melted state' makes it possible for atoms to exist as both a solid and a liquid at the same time. Up until now, it was generally understood that the atoms that make up physical material can exist in only one of three states - solid, liquid or gas. As it turns out however, there is actually a way around this limitation. The research, which was carried out by a team led by scientists from the University of Edinburgh, used computer simulations to study the existence of what has become known as a 'chain-melted state'. They found that if potassium is exposed to a high enough pressure and temperature, its atoms will form a solid lattice structure that contains a second set of potassium atoms in a fluid arrangement. It is believed that half a dozen different elements can achieve this state under the right conditions. "Potassium is one of the simplest metals we know, yet if you squeeze it, it forms very complicated structures," said study lead author Dr. Andreas Hermann. "We have shown that this unusual but stable state is part solid and part liquid." "Recreating this unusual state in other materials could have all kinds of applications."

Hush Posted by: Eat Uranium 07.04.2019 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we have a render of an interesting revolver that was both advanced and already obsolete when it was introduced: the Nagant M1895. The Nagant brothers were well known in the imperial Russian court due to their role in the development of the Mosin Nagant rifles. In the 1890s, the Tsarist army was looking for a replacement to their ageing Smith and Wesson Model 3s, and the design by Léon Nagant was adopted in 1895. The Nagant is a gate loaded revolver, a conservative choice in a period of top breaking and swing out cylinders. Unusually, the cylinder is cammed forward before each shot, allowing the brass cartridge to form a gas seal with the barrel. This was felt to be important, as it allows for an increase in muzzle velocity, it however had an unintended side effect of allowing the Nagant to be suppressed. In the early 1930s, the Mitin brothers developed an expansion type suppressor using nine 8mm thick rubber seals to capture the gas behind the bullet. It was clamped over the end of the barrel and required the use of special ammunition with pointed bullets due to the rubber seals. A similar design would later be developed for the Mosin Nagant rifle. Many of these suppressors were used by partisans behind German lines. The Nagant M1895 was produced all the way from 1896 through to 1945. Intended to be replaced by the Tokarev pistol, it was put back into major scale production during the War. Ours was made by Ashton and RedRogueXIII. Additionally, before we go, we just have time for a video produced by Mayhemic.MAD that shows a visualisation of the SVN used for FH2 development as the years have gone by.
