Slingshot Aerospace secures $13M NOAA contract for Space Traffic Platform Interface
Slingshot Aerospace, a leader in AI-driven satellite tracking and space coordination technologies, has been awarded a $13.3 million contract by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Space Commerce (OSC). This contract focuses on developing the Presentation Layer for the Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS), the U.S. government's next-generation space safety pl
PolyU conducts successful catalyst material experiments in Low Earth Orbit
The Shijian-19 satellite, China's first reusable and returnable satellite, has completed its mission and returned to Earth, carrying a variety of experimental payloads. Among these was the Hong Kong Polytechnic University's (PolyU) in-orbit material experiment testbed, a milestone as Hong Kong's first reusable experimental payload to return from space. The China National Space Administration for
All-optical nonlinear Compton scattering achieved with multi-petawatt laser producing ultra-bright gamma rays
In a major advancement for strong field physics, researchers from the Institute for Basic Science's Center for Relativistic Laser Science (CoReLS) in Korea have successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) using a groundbreaking all-optical setup. This achievement, recently published in 'Nature Photonics', uses the 4-petawatt laser at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (

3D-printing advance mitigates three defects simultaneously for failure-free metal parts
University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have found a way to simultaneously mitigate three types of defects in parts produced using a prominent additive manufacturing technique called laser powder bed fusion. Led by Lianyi Chen, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at UW-Madison, the team discovered the mechanisms and identified the processing conditions that can lead to this
