With Fermi, astronomers will at long last have a superior tool to study how black holes, notorious for pulling matter in, can accelerate jets of gas outward at fantastic speeds.



Physicists will be able to study subatomic particles at energies far greater than those seen in ground-based particle accelerators. And… Continue
