Adaptive-Optical 3D Microscopy For Microfluidic Multiphase Flows
A real-time adaptive optics system was developed, characterised and applied to measure the 3D flow field through an oscillating surface of a water drop on an opaque Gas Diffusion Layer. A case study shows that the system corrects successfully measurement errors of the flow field that are caused by the refraction of light at the time-varying water-air interface.

NASA's Hubble, MAVEN Help Solve the Mystery of Mars' Escaping Water
A Martian mystery: What happened to the water that once covered the Red Planet? Scientists know some of it went deep underground, but what became of the rest? Hubble and MAVEN teamed up to help scientists understand the history of water on Mars.
ALMA Detects Hallmark "Wiggle" of Gravitational Instability in Planet-Forming Disk
Traditionally, planet formation has been described as a "bottom-up" process, as dust grains gradually collect into bigger conglomerations over tens of millions of years: from microns, to centimeters, to meters, to kilometers.

Physicists at the University at Albany hail the latest progress in the hunt for direct evidence of dark matter -- believed to be a massive-but-so-far-invisible building block to the universe.
The world's fastest single-shot 2D imaging technique films ultrafast dynamics in flames
Candle flames, cars, and airplanes emit harmful gases and particles, which are formed through highly complex processes involving extremely fast reactions and often transient flow conditions. To better understand these processes, scientists from the USA and Europe developed the fastest 2D planar imaging system.

Optical phenomena are typically modeled with nearby interactions because interactions between optical elements generally decrease rapidly with distance. In the research from the Republic of Korea, scientists explored the impact of significant long-range interactions in topological photonics.
Chiral Asymmetry Creates a Path to High-Efficiency Future Electronics
In 2D quantum materials, chiral edge states are 1D conducting channels in which electrons travel only in one direction and electron collisions are strongly suppressed. This means chiral channels act like resistance-free conductors.
