As concerns about toxic “eternal chemicals” in drinking water continue to rise, scientists have identified promising breakthroughs. Iron powders may provide a safer, cheaper, and more effective solution to remove these persistent contaminants. In a recent study, researchers found that this common industrial material dramatically outperformed traditional treatments in eliminating PFOs. Increased risk of PFOS contamination Widely used for resistance to heat, water, oil and dirt, PFO (Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid) has become a product staple, from non-stick cooking utensils and waterproof fabrics to food wrappers and firefighters. For decades, these synthetic chemicals have contaminated soil, crops and water supply worldwide…

With new applications and projects supported by the European Space Agency, RSS-Hydro is poised to revolutionize the field of Earth observation. Imagine a world where floods are detected and alerts are sent with pinpoint accuracy a few weeks ago. Urban development is meticulously planned based on real-time environmental data, and the impact of climate change is tracked with unprecedented details. This is not science fiction. It is a reality that rapidly evolves with groundbreaking innovations in space platforms, satellite communications (SATCOM), and Earth Observation (EO) missions. Supported by the European Space Agency (ESA) with cutting-edge applications such as Floodsens and…
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations of troposphere steam vapor support weather forecasting and tracking harsh weather phenomena in many national and international weather services. Global navigation satellite systems are ubiquitous in modern technology and data-driven societies, supporting more applications beyond positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) activities. The role of GNS in weather forecasting GNSS signals experience a variety of atmospheric effects, as they travel from mostly Earth Central Orbit (MEO) satellite transmitters to receivers either at low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites or on terrestrial tracking stations. Troposphere signal delay is one of the most important contributors to GNSS positioning…

Japan has introduced new rules that limit how names are spelled and prominent. The new regulations announced last week aim to subdue the growing practices of Japanese parents who give unconventional names called “slick” or sparkly in kanji, one of Japan’s leading writing systems. But why is such a name a problem for Japanese authorities? And the new rules spell disasters for parents who want to break the mold and name their children Nike, shoe brand, or Pikachu (a little Lagomorphic animated character with Lightning Power, part of the Japanese media franchise Pokemon)? What is the name of Kira Kira?…
