The rotating stall precursor is a major research focus in the field of aerodynamic compressor flow stability, as an accurate understanding of its physical mechanisms can help improve the operating margin of the compressor system in aircraft engines and ensure flight safety. With advances in numerical simulation techniques, the physical essence of spike-type stall has been increasingly investigated in depth. Many studies assume that weak-amplitude disturbances exist prior to stall and facilitate its onset; however, the specific nature of these disturbances, their relationship with the spontaneous unsteady behavior of the flow, and whether these disturbances serve as the origin of the spike-type stall, have yet to be clarified.

As part of the citizen astronomy project, ‘Kilonova Seekers’, University of Warwick astronomers and public volunteers have made their first major discovery - an extremely bright exploding star system found in real time - a finding that would not have been possible without the diligent work of the public.

Researchers from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Columbia University, along with their collaborators, have analyzed sediments from the terrestrial Sangonghe Formation (Late Early Jurassic) in China's Junggar Basin, revealing information both on Solar System chaos and the global carbon cycle.

Imaging data from Japan’s Himawari-8 and -9 meteorological satellites have been successfully used to monitor temporal changes in Venus’ cloud-top temperature, revealing unseen patterns in the temperature structure of various waves. A team led by the University of Tokyo collated infrared images from 2015–25 to estimate brightness temperatures on day to year scales. The results demonstrate that meteorological satellites can serve as additional eyes to access the Venusian atmosphere from space and complement future observations from planetary missions and ground-based telescopes.
