When matter falls towards the black hole at the center of a galaxy, part of it is accelerated outwards at nearly the speed of light. NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope can be used to observe such so-called jets. | Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/GSFC
Effective drugs to treat Covid-19 are in short supply. Scientists at JMU have now identified another compound that, at least in the laboratory, effectively combats corona viruses. | Image: BlackJack3D / iStock
On the right, a unit cell cutout of the circuit board, which was built to demonstrate the non-Hermitian skin effect, is shown. In (a), the underlying theoretical non-Hermitian model is sketched, which describes the couplings between adjacent nodes. (b) depicts a schematic diagram of the full circuit chain with 20 unit cells with either periodic (without boundary) or open boundary conditions. (c) Circuit schematic of the periodically repeated unit cell with two internal nodes. | Image: Lehrstuhl für Theoretische Physik I / Universität Würzburg

The main protease (green) is a key molecule that helps the virus to replicate. A suitable drug (in red as a ball-and-stick model) could inhibit the molecule function. | Image: Thomas Splettstoesser / www.scistyle.com
