Researchers have developed a system-level simulation framework for evaluating ultra-dense indoor 5G and future 6G wireless networks. The framework combines standardized 3GPP channel modeling, beamforming, receiver processing, channel uncertainty, link adaptation, and throughput evaluation in a unified platform. The simulator closely matches 3GPP Phase-2 calibration results. Under imperfect channel information, interference rejection combining achieves about 42% higher average cell throughput and more than 160% higher 5th-percentile user throughput than maximum ratio combining.Researchers have developed a system-level simulation framework for evaluating ultra-dense indoor 5G and future 6G wireless networks.

Announcing a new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI  10.29026/oea.2026.250297.

To better assess the spatial extent of mining facilities and their environmental impact, a research team at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has developed a satellite-based remote sensing tool (DOI: 10.1016/j.isprsjprs.2026.07.001). SHABA (Seasonal Harmonic Anomaly Break Analysis) is a satellite-based innovative tool to analyze spatial and temporal vegetational dynamics. SHABA is unique in its ability to factor in seasonal fluctuations and trends to reliably detect and quantify changes in vegetation. The researchers hope that SHABA will help better assess the global environmental impact of mining.

How can effective shielding, rapid heat dissipation, and complex structural shaping be achieved simultaneously of the ceramic? Researchers have resolved this electromagnetic trap from both materials and topological perspectives, developing a heat-venting ceramic metastructure capable of highly efficient terahertz shielding.

Researchers led by Aarhus University have developed light-sensitive nanoparticles that can be injected into the eye and make blind retinas respond to light. In mice, the researchers detected light-induced signals in the visual cortex and observed behavioural responses to light. The technology, also tested in pig retinal tissue, could form the basis of a new type of retinal prosthesis. The research is published in Nature Biomedical Engineering.
