Summary

Story summary

Researchers using the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope identified 53 new Giant Radio Quasars (GRQs) with jets extending up to 7.2 million light-years.
These 53 GRQs are part of a larger sample of 369 radio quasars.
Jet growth slows in denser environments.
Quasars farther from Earth show greater jet asymmetry, likely from the early universe's chaotic conditions.
