TL;DR

Astronomers have discovered a quasar, powered by a supermassive black hole, in the infant universe, spewing out molecular gas, which is crucial for star formation. The quasar, J2054-0005, observed by ALMA, provides evidence of molecular outflows from quasars in the early universe, confirming the suppression of star formation. This discovery supports theories about the impact of quasars on surrounding galaxies and sheds light on the role of molecular gas in regulating star formation.
