ESA links with Japan for speedy and secure communications
	People will communicate up to a thousand times faster using high-capacity optical links between satellites, thanks to a partnership agreed today between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Space Compass Corporation in Japan.
Weather, climate and air quality missions on display
	The first of the new generation of MetOp satellites, MetOp-SG Satellite-A, together with the instrument for the Copernicus Sentinel-5 mission, are now ready to be shipped to their launch site. But before the last leg of their terrestrial journey, they were on display to the media at Airbus’s facilities in Toulouse, France.

Sierra Space has successfully showcased its Resilient GPS (R-GPS) satellite technology, a critical advancement for the U.S. Space Force's efforts to strengthen national defense through more robust navigation systems. Developed in partnership with General Dynamics Mission Systems, the demonstration validated the generation of all necessary GPS navigation signals for the R-GPS mission, addressing                Smartphone sensor array reimagined as ultra-precise antimatter imaging system
In a major advance for antimatter research, scientists from CERN's AEgIS collaboration have engineered a groundbreaking imaging system by adapting the image sensors found in mobile phone cameras. The innovation aims to provide unprecedented spatial resolution in tracking the annihilation of antihydrogen particles, a vital step toward precisely measuring how antimatter responds to Earth's gravity                NASA uncovers complex teamwork in magnetic bacteria
In a breakthrough study, researchers backed by NASA have explored the remarkable cooperative behavior of a rare form of bacteria that function as if they were a unified multicellular entity. These organisms, known as multicellular magnetotactic bacteria (MMB), are the only bacteria currently known to display this specific type of obligate multicellularity, offering a compelling model for how com                Mammals were shifting to ground life long before dinosaur extinction
New findings from the University of Bristol suggest that mammals had begun transitioning from arboreal habitats to terrestrial ones several million years prior to the asteroid strike that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. 
Published in the journal Palaeontology, the research highlights that numerous mammalian species were already adapting to life on the ground before the catastrophic                A new path for quantum connections
Applied physicists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a photon-routing device that could significantly enhance the interface between optical and microwave quantum systems, potentially enabling large-scale, modular quantum computing over existing telecom networks. 
This innovation could pave the way for quantum computers that are n
