Black holes are the densest, most mysterious objects in the universe. These super-compressed objects are millions or billions of times larger than our own Sun, with gravitational pulls so great that not even light can escape. But not all black holes are created equal. Some are larger than others and, while they all absorb the matter around them, some grow faster. Led by researchers at the Australian National University, an international team has found the fastest-growing black hole of the last 9 billion years. The discovery was published in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia. It’s really been a lot of fun to look at photographic plates from 1901 that have pictures of this very black hole about as bright as we see it now. This shows it is not a transient phenomenon. It’s been going on for quite a long time. It’s been fun to build in that historical aspect to this cutting-edge research

In line with Dubai's strategy to benefit from 3D printing technology in various aspects of life, for the first time, we used 3D printing technology to design and print titanium facial implants to rebuild facial bones. The success of this type of 3D printing process opens the door for the introduction of (biological metallic face) techniques to save cases of bone deformities caused by tumors. This new technique saved the patient from taking many bones and soft and hard tissues from the tiny blood vessels from the legs and abdomen to reconstruct the face, which would have harmed the patient's life and severely affected his quality of life. This is the first case in the world that these techniques are applied to save facial deformity and reconstruct bone defects, using titanium fillings of this size, compared to other techniques.
