…tic stellar halo, which is orbiting in the opposite direction with respect to the stars of the Galactic disk. Its kinematic characteristics indicate that this star was part of a small galaxy that merged into the Milky Way over eight billion years ago.   Moreover, the accompanying star is also very poor in elements heavier than the lightest, hydrogen and helium, allowing the researchers to deduce that the progenitor of this high-mass black hole was…

“Contemporary idea of Eastern Europe is deeply rooted in the post-war order symbolised by the Iron Curtain. However, a closer look at the early modern concepts of an area known then as ‘European Sarmatia’ will reveal an entirely different facet of this region.

…the so-called Cap. Benzyl is attached at a characteristic site where natural enzymes modify mRNA by adding a methyl group to it after the mRNA has been synthesized. These natural mRNA modifications are reversible and can be removed. Inspired by biology, we decided to modify the mRNA in this position in a permanent way, examining how it would affect the properties of mRNA,” explains Dr Marcin Warmiński from the UW’s Faculty of Physics, the first a…
