…s 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 a massive star, also very poor in heavy elements. Surprisingly, the chemical composition of the companion is similar to that found in old, metal-deficient stars in t…

…ise the molecule into the appropriate topology. Metal ions stabilise the structure, while simultaneously making such arrangements rigid.   The researchers from the University of Warsaw and the University of Wrocław have discovered a new general method for constructing molecular links and knots in such a way that they are flexible. They used new building blocks, resulting in a group of molecules that exhibit dynamic behaviour, similar to that obser…

It may have been used for the production of wine amphorae – fragments of such a transport vessel were found inside. Of course, further research, including physico-chemical analyses, will be necessary, but it can already be assumed that there was production activity at the Apsaros fort, m…
