Scientists detect record-sized merger of black holes
The collision involved two black holes, each over 100 times the mass of the sun, resulting in a new black hole up to 265 times more massive than the sun.
The event, designated GW231123, was detected by the Ligo Hanford and Livingston Observatories in the US on November 23, 2023.
Researchers noted the black holes were spinning extremely rapidly, near the limit allowed by Einstein's theory of general relativity, posing a challenge to current scientific models.
This significant discovery pushes the boundaries of gravitational-wave astronomy and will be presented at the GR-Amaldi meeting in Glasgow in July.

New genetic test could predict if you'll get condition suffered by 100million Americans decades before it develops
Genetic testing may predict your odds of becoming obese years - possibly even decades - before the condition strikes, researchers have revealed. A group of 600 researchers worldwide compiled genetic data from 5million people, the largest and most diverse dataset to date. They used that data to create a polygenic risk score, a person's genetic predisposition for a specific disease. In this case, it determined the odds of having a higher body mass index (BMI) in adulthood. The team found the score could be used to predict a person's risk of becoming obese as an adult - even for people as young as five years old. This could be instrumental for early intervention and preventing obesity - and its coexisting conditions. Ruth Loos, study co-author and professor at the University of Copenhagen's Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, said: 'Childhood is the best time to intervene.' The score also was found to be up to twice as effective as those used in doctors offices based on factors like high blood pressure, heart disease, diet and exercise. Additionally, researchers found people with high polygenic risk scores were also more likely to regain weight after losing it through diet and exercise compared to those with lower scores. Loos added: 'Obesity is not only about genetics, so genetics alone can never accurately predict obesity. 'For the general obesity that we see all over the world, we need other factors such as lifestyle that need to be part of the predictions.' The findings come as more than 40 percent of Americans adults - 100million - are now obese, meaning they have a BMI of at least 30. Rates among young people in particular have surged the most, with quadruple the amount of teens being obese worldwide compared to the 1990s. The study, published Monday in the journal Nature Medicine, used genetic data from 5.1million people worldwide collected from 200 studies and 23andMe. The majority (71 percent) were of European ancestry, while 14 percent were of Hispanic ethnicity, eight percent were predominantly East Asian, five percent were African or African American and 1.5 percent were South Asian. Overall, the researchers found polygenic risk scores accounted for about 18 percent of a person with European ancestry's risk for having a high BMI as an adult compared to 8.5 percent on average for scores used by physicians. The remaining percentage is made up of lifestyle related factors like diet and exercise. However, this rate varied depending on ethnicity. For East Asian Americans, the score explained 16 percent of the risk for high BMI, though it was just 2.2 percent for people from rural Uganda and five percent for African ancestry overall. Because most participants were European, the team said further research is needed to look at other groups, particularly those of African descent. Based on the polygenic risk score calculated in the study, more than 80 percent of a person's risk for obesity can be explained by factors other than genetics, including where people live, foods they have access to and how much they exercise. Dr Roy Kim, a pediatric endocrinologist at Cleveland Clinic Children's who was not involved with the research, told NBC News: 'Behavioral things are really important. Their environment, their access to healthy food, exercise opportunities, even their knowledge about healthy foods all affect a person's obesity risk.' In children, BMI increased at a faster rate in those with a higher genetic predisposition than those with a lower risk, which was most evident at just two and a half years old. Additionally, individuals with higher polygenic risk scores lost more weight in the first year of lifestyle interventions like diet and exercise than a control group. However, people with high scores who lost at least three percent of their baseline weight in the first year had a higher risk of regaining it in the years that followed compared to a control group. Dr Joel Hirschhorn, study author and professor of pediatrics and genetics at Boston Children's Hospital, told The New York Times: 'There is definitely predictive value in genetics.' He added that with the new study 'we are now a lot closer to being able to use genetics in a potentially meaningful predictive way.'

Doctor reveals simple diet hack that can help you sleep better at night: 'Do it two hours before bed for the best night's sleep'
A doctor has claimed a spoonful of peanut butter before bed can help you sleep better throughout the night. This is because it contains tryptophan—an amino acid vital for the production of serotonin—'which can have a calming effect on your brain' said Dr Kunal Sood. Some studies have suggested different foods with tryptophan can help improve sleep quality. But it is also high in healthy fats which prevent blood sugar level spikes, which can be a cause for waking up during the night, added the US-based anesthesiologist. 'Lastly peanut butter also contains magnesium which has been shown to also relax you and improve sleep quality,' he said in a recent video posted on TikTok. These claims are backed up by research on other foods, but a study in 2024 found peanut butter didn't have a positive effect on sleep. However, the study involved 40 firefighters who commonly have sleep difficulties due to their work shifts, so the results may differ for the average person. Dr Sood was reacting to a video posted two years ago by a 29-year-old woman from Pennsylvania in the US that amassed 1.8million views. In the other video, Kat Eilonwy said: 'So, apparently eating a spoon of peanut butter before bed helps drop your cortisol levels to help you sleep.' Cortisol, often known as the 'stress hormone' can disrupt sleep if levels are elevated in the evening. Previously researchers have found those who regularly eat peanut butter have lower cortisol levels—so, the snack may help you wind down before sleeping. The study also found those who ate peanut butter reported lower levels of anxiety and depression. In the comment section of her video, one user said: 'I discovered that a spoonful before bedtime helps me sleep through the night.' Another user wrote: 'Every night I take one slice of bread, slap some PB on it and fold it in half. I'm always asleep within 30 minutes of eating that.' A third user added: 'It works! I've been doing it for three months, doing it to help my stomach when I couldn't sleep and noticed I slept better after a spoonful of peanut butter.' After posting his video, Dr Sood also received comments from social media user saying it has helped them. One user said: 'I have trouble sleeping almost every night. Peanut butter has helped me a lot.' Meanwhile another commented: 'Wow okay good reason to eat peanut butter.' A third commented: 'I thought I was the only one who did this!' Other health benefits of peanut butter include a lower risk of type two diabetes and colorectal cancer. However, at the end of the video, Dr Sood added: 'It is worth noting while peanut butter may help some people sleep, it is not for everyone.'

Scientists are BAFFLED after discovering a mysterious new structure hiding inside human cells
Scientists have discovered a mysterious new structure lurking inside every human cell. These tiny structures, dubbed hemifusomes, are just 200 to 400 nanometres in diameter. To put that into perspective, that's about 500 times thinner than a human hair. Scientists believe the structures play a critical role in helping our cells recycle and discard waste materials. Co-author Dr Seham Ebrahim, of the University of Virginia, says: 'It's exciting because finding something truly new inside cells is rare - and it gives us a whole new path to explore. 'This is like discovering a new recycling centre inside the cell. 'We think the hemifusome helps manage how cells package and process material, and when this goes wrong, it may contribute to diseases that affect many systems in the body.' In the future, the finding could help scientists to develop treatments for conditions such as Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome - a rare genetic disorder that can cause albinism, vision problems, and lung disease. Since hemifusomes are exceptionally small, the researchers needed extremely sensitive equipment to spot them. The team used a method called cryo-electron tomography, in which samples are rapidly frozen to around -150°C (-240°F) before being sliced very thinly. The scientists then took lots of photos with a powerful microscope which uses electrons instead of visible light. This allowed them to look at extremely small structures just as they would appear in a living cell by freezing them in time, rather than damaging the samples by trying to preserve them. Using this method, a team of researchers from the University of Virginia spotted structures which looked like two thin bubbles stuck together at the edges. The researchers believe hemifusomes produce vesicles - tiny sacs that act as 'mixing bowls', as well as making structures made of lots of these vesicles. Dr Ebrahim says: 'You can think of vesicles like little delivery trucks inside the cell. 'The hemifusome is like a loading dock where they connect and transfer cargo. It's a step in the process we didn't know existed.' By placing vesicles inside themselves, hemifusoles can store and combine different chemicals and waste products. Scientists think that some diseases might be caused when this process is disrupted By building vesicles, and even putting vesicles inside each other, the hemifusomes allow our cells to package and sort proteins or recycle parts of the cell. One thing that the researchers were surprised to find is that the layer which connects the hemifusome and the vesicles is much thinner than scientists previously thought possible. This 'hemifusion diaphragm' sticks to the two structures together but doesn't let their contents mix, like two water balloons that have melted together at the edges. Previously, scientists thought these types of structures would be too unstable to do anything useful in our cells. But in the hemifusome, the researchers spotted them playing a really important role in keeping our cells healthy. That discovery could have big implications for how we understand and treat diseases which interfere with our cells' recycling functions. Dr Ebrahim says: 'We're just beginning to understand how this new organelle fits into the bigger picture of cell health and disease. 'Now that we know hemifusomes exist, we can start asking how they behave in healthy cells and what happens when things go wrong. That could lead us to new strategies for treating complex genetic diseases. Cells in numbers Scientists believe the first known cells originated on Earth 3.8 billion years ago. The diameter in centimeters of most animal cells is 0.001 to 0.003, making them invisible to the naked eye. In 1665, British scientist Robert Hooke coined the term cell to describe the porous, grid-like structure he saw when viewing a thin slice of cork under a microscope. There are 200 different types of cells are in the human body. There are 24 hours in an animal cell cycle, the time from a cell's formation to when it splits in two to make more cells. A human red blood cells lives about 120 days. Each day, approximately 50 to 70 billion cells die in the human.
