Spirals in young star disk reveal planet formation process
Observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have captured the motion of spiral structures in the disk of dust and gas surrounding the young star IM Lup, offering new evidence that these features are linked to the earliest stages of planet formation.
Located 515 light-years away in the constellation Lupus, IM Lup's protoplanetary disk displays spirals that astr GEO-MEASURE brings survey-grade precision to everyone
GEO-MEASURE, the new handheld GNSS rover from GEODNET, is redefining field surveying by combining professional-grade accuracy with consumer-level simplicity and affordability. The compact device integrates robust hardware, a mobile app, and preloaded RTK corrections in a single turnkey package priced at just $695, including one year of correction service.
Equipped with 1,408 satellite chan USF study: Ancient plankton hint at steadier future for ocean life
A team of scientists has uncovered a rare isotope in microscopic fossils, offering fresh evidence that ocean ecosystems may be more resilient than once feared.
In a new study co-led by Patrick Rafter of the University of South Florida, researchers show that warming in the tropical Pacific - home to some of the world's most productive fisheries - may not trigger the severe declines predicte Physics informed AI forecasts safer tokamak rampdowns for future fusion plants
MIT researchers have unveiled a prediction method that blends a physics-based plasma model with machine learning to manage tokamak rampdowns more safely and reliably. The approach targets disruption avoidance when plasma current is reduced, a critical step for future grid-scale fusion plants.

The Japanese space agency JAXA has selected Rocket Lab to launch a set of technology demonstration satellites on Electron rockets after continued delays with a Japanese launch vehicle.
Swarm reveals growing weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field
Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the European Space Agency’s Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have discovered that the weak region in Earth’s magnetic field over the South Atlantic – known as the South Atlantic Anomaly – has expanded by an area nearly half the size of continental Europe since 2014.
