Chiba University and a Finnish wireless power company will study how wireless power behaves inside an enclosed space as devices enter, leave, and change operating conditions.

An international team led by the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) demonstrates for the first time that the two rings of this small Solar System body are changing in opposite directions. The results come from the first stellar occultation specifically planned for and successfully observed with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)

Four secondary school students from Italy, France and Germany have been recognised for their achievements in space science at the Opening Reception of the 46th COSPAR Scientific Assembly in Florence, marking an inspiring culmination of the three-year Erasmus+ Students As Planetary Defenders (StAnD) project.

In the Journal of Applied Physics, researchers explore an eggshell-inspired design as a potential spacecraft protection material. It may seem counterintuitive to use eggshells as a blueprint for strength, but they found that organizing water-filled aluminum eggshells into an array adds useful material properties when placed blunt side down between two aluminum impact plates. Rather than being concentrated within a single eggshell, the energy from an impact gradually dissipates through the material, allowing each shell to sequentially collapse and deform.
