Astronomers are watching as the super gravity of the black hole at the centre of our galaxy is destroying a dust cloud. The cloud, known as X7 has the mass of 50 Earths and is orbiting the black hole, Sagittarius A.  The cloud appears as a filament and is 3,000 times as long as the sun-Earth distance. In just 20 years of observation, the cloud has elongated and shows signs of being pulled apart by the black hole's super gravity. Guest Anna CiurnoAssistant ResearcherDepartment of Physics and Astr

G'day, Dr Karl here. This time, I'm taking more about Parkinson's Disease, a neurodegenerative disorder. Neurodegenerative means it affects your ability to control parts of your nervous system. Last time I also mentioned super-sniffer Joy Milne – who, so far, is the only person we know of on Planet Earth who can diagnose Parkinson's Disease with her nose. Parkinson's Disease kills over 100,000 people each year, and currently affects about 8.5 million people worldwide. It's the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's Disease.

Who knew that chocolate is produced by fermentation? And that microbes play a key role! An exhibition at London's Royal Society shows the process behind making chocolate and what leads to different flavours. Beyond the sweet milk chocolate that is mass produced and found everywhere, chocolate can have a wide range of flavours determined by the mix of microbes present at fermentation.  Sina Fischer is studying the process and identifying the key microbes. She hopes to help farmers apply the right temperature and conditions to allow microbes to produce the best flavour, leading to maximum returns for farmers.

Entomologists are searching for a solution to honeybees being impacted by Varroa mites. The mites mainly feed and reproduce on larvae and pupae causing malformation and weakening of honeybees, while transmitting a range of viruses. Infestation ultimately causes a reduction in honeybee population, supersedure of queen bees and eventual colony breakdown and death. James Nieh's lab at the University of California San Diego is investigating inoculation. They have taken the spores of another pathogen, and after heat treatment, fed the dead spores to larvae.

The old approach was to prescribe bed rest after surgery. Now patients are told to get out of bed and to move. Robert Newton leads research at Edith Cowan University in Perth into the benefits of exercise in preventing and treating conditions such as cancer. He says there are important molecules released when our muscles work. These molecules suppress cancer and reduce tumour development. They also reduce the toxicity effects of chemotherapy allowing full doses to be administered. Robert Newton says exercise is a medicine bringing highly coordinated biochemical changes within the body with no side effects.
