…massive stars evolve. The majority of the few known black holes of stellar origin (resulting from the collapse of a massive star at the end of its life) have been identified in X-ray binaries. In these binaries, the X-ray emission is due to the matter lost by the star orbiting a black hole when it is sucked into the black hole. When the black hole does not have a companion close enough to steal matter from it, it does not emit any radiation, hence…

…g flexible synthetic links.   Flexibility is one of the most important molecular characteristics of knots and links. It allows the formation of entangled regions in protein or nucleic acid molecules. Most synthetic knots and links are obtained by using metal cations as particles to organise the molecule into the appropriate topology. Metal ions stabilise the structure, while simultaneously making such arrangements rigid.   The researchers from the…
