Researchers have discovered a "shape-recovering liquid" that appears to defy the laws of thermodynamics. The liquid, which is made up of oil, water and magnetized particles,consistently separates into a form resembling a Grecian urn. This discovery began when Anthony Raykh, a polymer science and engineering graduate student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, was studying a mixture of oil, water and nickel particles in a vial.

In December 2019, an ordinary galaxy 300 million light-years from us in the constellation Virgo suddenly woke up. After decades of inactivity, the black hole at the galaxy's heart burst with light. Now, the cosmic monster appears to be doing something that is forcing astronomers to re-evaluate their understanding of these massive celestial bodies.

Now, the cosmic monster appears to be doing something that is forcing astronomers to re-evaluate their understanding of these massive celestial bodies. The black hole now gives off powerful X-rays at nearly regular intervals.
