• CERN creates cosmic “fireballs” that could reveal the Universe’s hidden magnetism
  Using CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, researchers generated plasma fireballs to simulate blazar jets. The beams stayed stable, suggesting plasma instabilities aren’t responsible for missing gamma rays. Instead, the data strengthens the idea of ancient intergalactic magnetic fields, possibly from the Universe’s earliest moments.
• New 2D material transforms air into fuel and fertilizer
  Researchers are exploring MXenes, 2D materials that could transform air into ammonia for cleaner fertilizers and fuels. Their atomic structures can be tuned to optimize performance, making them promising alternatives to expensive catalysts.
