Found: First Actively Forming Galaxy as Lightweight as Young Milky Way
Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI)

Like fireflies “dancing” on a warm summer night, 10 distinct star clusters appear in observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. They are held in a cocoon of diffuse light emitted by other stars scattered around them. This galaxy, known as Firefly Sparkle, was taking shape around 600 million years after the big bang.

Milestone 10-GeV Experiment Shines Light on Laser-Plasma Interactions
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

With dual lasers, researchers at the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator Center accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a “frame-by-frame” look at how a petawatt laser interacts with a long plasma channel, knowledge that’s crucial for building future compact particle accelerators.

Cigarette smoking from childhood into early adulthood is associated with an increased risk of premature cardiac injury, according to a study published today in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology. This early damage to the structure and function of the heart can also significantly increase the chance of future cardiovascular (CVD) mortality in mid-life.

Balancing Act: The Science Behind Ballbot Control
Chinese Academy of Sciences

In a surprising development in the field of robotics, researchers have discovered that small modifications to a robot’s body mass and ball size can significantly enhance its balancing abilities. Focusing on the BallBot—a robot designed to balance on a ball—the study reveals that these seemingly simple design changes can lead to dramatic improvements in performance. This innovative approach holds the potential to make robots more stable and reliable in everyday applications, bringing them closer to becoming indispensable partners in our daily lives.

Plasma bubbles in the skies: Hong Kong leads research on aviation safety threats
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A cutting-edge study has uncovered crucial new insights into the effects of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) on aircraft navigation systems, shedding light on the hidden dangers posed by these atmospheric phenomena. These disturbances in the ionosphere can interfere with satellite signals, putting aviation safety at risk. The research focuses on developing a predictive model to evaluate how EPBs disrupt ground-based systems vital for guiding planes safely during landing.

Ocean’s “Big Data”: Fusion of Satellite Data for Better Sea Views
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking method (CSAC) to harmonize satellite ocean color data across various satellites, which paved the way for the generation of reliable, global-scale, long-term, bio-optical properties of the upper ocean. Such “big data” is the base to assess the status and climate-related dynamics of the marine ecosystems. The CSAC (Cross-Satellite Atmospheric Correction) system ensures consistent remote sensing reflectance (Rrs) products across different satellite ocean color missions, a crucial step for expanding spatial coverage and extending the temporal reach via the fusion of various satellite ocean color measurements.
