Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal that extremely fast, galaxy-scale outflows from luminous objects called quasars were much more frequent, and on average more powerful, about one billion years after the Big Bang than at later cosmic epochs. These outflows could easily escape their host galaxies and regulate the evolution of early massive galaxies.]]> doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01485-w Nature, Published online: 2026-05-13; | doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01485-w 2026-05-13 Nature 10.1038/d41586-026-01485-w https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01485-w https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01506-8 Nature, Published online: 13 May 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01506-8
