Scientists with NASA’s Lucy mission continue to analyze data collected during the spacecraft’s April 20 encounter with the main-belt asteroid Donaldjohanson.

On Wednesday, 2 July 2025, the Polarstern will set sail from Tromsø, Norway, embarking on an expedition to the Arctic Ocean. Over the next two months, an international research team will analyse the feedback effects between global warming and sea ice retreat in the Arctic Ocean. The investigations will focus on the differences in the melting of various sea ice types – representing the Arctic of the past decades, the present and the future. A parallel airborne campaign will complement the measurements and, at the outset of the expedition, the Polarstern will support the first ice testing of the new French Tara Polar Station research platform.

A joint research team led by Senior Researcher Gyoung S. Na from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) and Professor Chanyoung Park from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has developed a novel AI method—called DELID (Decomposition-supervised Electron-Level Information Diffusion)—that accurately predicts material properties using electron-level information without performing quantum mechanical computations.

The University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) Confocal Microscopy Core facility is now offering researchers access to a state-of-the-art STED microscope that provides super-resolution imaging capabilities. It is the latest addition of an Abberior Facility Line STED microscope. The new technology provides funded researchers across the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) campus with enhanced visualization of fine cell structures and mechanisms on a nanoscale. Acquired in 2024, it is one of only six STED microscopes available in the entire state of Maryland.

The research team, led by Principal Researcher Seong-Hyun Lee at the Virtual Engineering Research Center of the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (President Seog-Hyeon Ryu, hereinafter KIMM), under the National Research Council of Science and Technology (Chairperson Yeung-Shik Kim), successfully validated the system through full-scale trials on multiple naval ships.

A new study by UTEP researchers shows that adult moths are more vulnerable to attack than when they are young. The recently published research in the journal Insects studied predation patterns for moths, a category of insects that undergoes metamorphosis.

Groundbreaking technology developed at Trinity, which captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, is being put through its paces at Dublin Airport – with the team behind its creation hoping to demonstrate its wider potential for capturing carbon in the aviation and e-fuel industries.

The project has been funded by a prestigious European Innovation Council (EIC) Transition grant (AirInMotion) and supported by the Enterprise Ireland.

Developed by Prof. Wolfgang Schmitt and Dr Sebastien Vaesen from Trinity’s School of Chemistry and AMBER, the Taighde Éireann – Research Ireland Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research, this pioneering initiative focuses on delivering scalable, energy-efficient atmospheric carbon dioxide capture solutions to help reduce industrial emissions. This Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology is a critical tool in achieving net-zero targets and has the potential to drive real, measurable change in combating climate change.

According to the 2022 Global Impact of Respiratory Disease Report, the global presence of non–cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis ranges from 67 to 566 per 100,000 inhabitants in Europe and North America and from 1,200 per 100,000 inhabitants in China in those aged 40 or older.
