Growing port congestion demands smarter management. In a new study, researchers developed a dynamic forecasting framework using real-time operation indicators from a two-stage queuing model to predict vessel turnaround time. Tested with data from Busan Port, the model achieved up to 28% higher accuracy than traditional methods. By improving berth planning and resource allocation, this approach can significantly enhance efficiency and reduce delays in global port operations.

A novel magnetic material with an extraordinary electronic structure might allow for the production of smaller and more efficient computer chips in the future: the p-wave magnet. Researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) were involved in its development. The magnetic behavior in the interior of this material results from the way the electron spins arrange themselves – in the shape of a helix. Therefore, the electric current flowing through is deflected laterally. The results are published in the Nature journal. 

Scientiests tested mRNA technology to protect against the damage caused by the venom of the Bothrops asper snake

Researchers have successfully grown platinum crystals in liquid metal, using a powerful X-ray technique giving rare insight into how these delicate crystals form and grow.

Resilience in 6G is a critical design objective. It connects reliability, security, and adaptability into one framework that allows networks to withstand, recover, and evolve through disruption. The new 6G Resilience White Paper from the University of Oulu’s 6G Flagship builds on this idea. As the fifteenth publication in the flagship’s landmark series on the future of connectivity, it defines how next-generation networks can sense trouble, remain online, and learn from failure.
