Astronomers measure the rotation of a supermassive black hole for the first time

Astronomers have for the first time measured the rotation of a supermassive black hole using the wobbling of gaseous material from a disintegrated star. The results, obtained by an international team of scientists, offer a new way to study supermassive black holes and their evolution in the Universe. One of the lead authors of the study published in the prestigious journal Nature was Michal Zajaček from the Masaryk University, Faculty of Science.

Scientists from MUNI look under the hood of bacterial evolution and bring bacteria closer to further use in modern technologies

Some microorganisms, such as lactic acid bacteria or yeasts, have been helping humans since time immemorial. Since the last century, they have helped humans as a kind of cellular factories to produce important medicines, some industrial chemicals, biofuels, food ingredients or promising new materials. For this production they need sugar, most often glucose from plants. Scientists have now explored how bacteria can "learn" to process new groups of sugars, for example from waste plant biomass.
