New hydrodynamical simulations explain how tidally destroyed stars reveal hidden supermassive black holes and why no two of these cosmic collisions look the same.

Researchers have published a comprehensive review of configuration and parameter design for electrified propulsion systems in three-dimensional transportation, or TDT, covering air, ground, and sea applications. The review reorganizes the design space for electrified propulsion and proposes six design stages to guide future research on propulsion configuration, sizing, screening, and co-optimization.

The University of Rhode Island’s Camilo Villouta has been awarded a USDA grant to study hydroponic spinach cultivation in controlled-environment agriculture. Indoor vertical farms have become prominent due to their ability to maximize space usage and maintain precise control over environmental variables. This is Villouta’s first time receiving an award from USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture and his first award of this size.

Several contaminants, including traces of ink, originating in the preparation of subsamples, have been identified in Martian meteorites by the EHU’s research group. The finding highlights the importance of stricter protocols to prevent misinterpretations of the composition of these rocks and to ensure the reliability of future studies and Mars sample-return missions.

Curious how 6G will power unmanned operations in remote spots like mining sites or disaster zones? A new Engineering study designs 6G space-air-ground integrated networks around the SC³ loop, a reflex arc-like structure, ditching traditional link-focused 5G designs. It tests a task-oriented framework that cuts control costs and tackles key 6G network challenges for autonomous systems.

A research paper by scientists from Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a hybrid frequency–phase–space encoding method, integrated with high-density electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings, to develop high-speed BCI systems.

The new research paper, published on Mar. 26 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, developed a groundbreaking visual brain-computer interface (BCI) that sets a new benchmark for noninvasive BCI communication speed.
